If its a SOHC ZC yes, a DOHC ZC no.

All SOHC dizzys will bolt up with one another, same with all DOHC dizzys only bolting to other DOHC's.

Please don't give out misinformation. All distributors will not bolt up to eachother. They will have to be modified for them to work on different engines. Also, I used a SOHC Vtec dizzy on a b16. So do some research before you are so quick to tell others the wrong thing.

CivicRaping, you could use that dizzy if you modify the legs/arms (whatever you want to call them) to make it fit. A friend of mine only has one bolt on his distributor and it works just fine. You will have to notch it just right though to be able to make timing adjustments.

DOHC ZC dizzy does not have the cam angle sensor in it. The ZC motors have it on the end of the cam, so I don't think that a DOHC ZC dizzy will work on a SOHC motor even if you can bolt it on.

Thats not misinformation..., if you read it right, which you didnt apperently, this is what i said broke down just for you of inferior intellect.....

All SOHC HONDA Motors, the dizzys will bolt on to the head of other SOHC's, with the exception of the 84-87 civic's.

All DOHC's within the same family of motor (D & B) the distributors will bolt up to one another. EXAMPLE::: DOHC ZC's and 86-89 INTEGRAs..the dizzys will bolt up to one another. Same thing with B-series. All B-series dizzys will bolt onto one another.

If you would have read it right you would have understood.

let me break it down for you.

You said that the SOHC dizzy will only work on sohc... not true

DOHC dizzy cannot work on a sohc due to the crank position sensor on some models.
