So I bought this theft recovery 98 Civic EX. It came with no distributor or wires or airbox/tubing

I have a couple 97 DX and LX parts cars, will the distributor and wires work from the non-vtec cars or not?

also what has to be done to time it after I install... any tips help.

 

no they won't work the non-vtec distributors don' line up u'll only be able 2 screw like 2 bolts in

 

damn... where should I look to buy a new one?

 

so the distributor will not work... will the wires work?

also what has to be done to time the engine ?

 

If you already ahve the distributor, why dont you try it. Im sure your d16y7 distributor will work with the d16y8 Ex motor. The plug wires will definatly work for sure.

 

any info on timing it?

I just haven't put it on because I wanted to get some opinions first...

 

The Y7 and Y8 distributor's are the same.

 

I had a y7 motor and did the mini me and put a y8 head on the block. I used the y7 dizzy and spark plug cables and it works fine.

 

what kind of timing is needed to install ?

 

i had an ex motor and i went to the junkyard and bought a dx distribut and the holes din't line up at all the wires will work tho
