I just want to know if they are both the same.

 

no,they are different

 

whats the difference between them

 

Mounting points are different and on the b-series distributor the 2 teeth that go into the intake came are offset so that you can never install the distributor 180 off. unlike the d-series, the two teeth are centered and if you don't put the rotor pointer torwards the number 1 plug, you can accidently install it 180 degrees off!!!!

 

so you are saying that it wont fit at all?

 

no it won't!! the plugs for all the obd1 distributors are the same and all the plugs for the obd2 distributors are the same but the distributor itself will not fit or work!!!!

 

ohh ok, cause i found a msd cap (the see through one) and put it on my hatch with the gsr motor and it works. My friend was saying thats a d series cap. So since it works then its a b series cap.

Isn't he asking about just the cap?

For caps, some are interchangable I'm assuming since some part #s for MSD caps apply to both SOHC Civics and DOHC Integras

Oh ****, yeah ,my bad. i'm retarted!! I read the post to fast!!! I really don't know which caps would be interchangable, but I have a Obd2 distributor off an integra on my b16a, and I have an extra SOHC distributor that I just tried to put the SOHC cap on my DOHC distributor and it wouldn't fit!!!! But if he says its off a d-series and it fits on a DOHC distributor than I guess it works!! Sorry about the confusion!!!

 

Just a quick confirmation: The msd (see through, external coil) does work with a d-series motor. As db8gsr said, it works with a b18, so it seems the caps are truely interchangable.

 

the caps are interchangeable i have a b16 del sol and i broke the cap ...and i had a spare cap that was off my old d16 civic...and it fit...but distributers are different

 

caps are the same... cracked my one on my LS and took the cap of my d15 dizzy still works its the exact same thing.

 

I just bought. 97 hx with. B18 b1 swap
I have singal cam distributer on. Mine. But would i get more power from a integra one ??


They fit d to b

 

Only if you cannot properly set the distributor timing with the single-jingle dizzy.
