i recently heard that you can replace the stock dist on a b16a with one from a LS motor. if this is right, what is better about the LS dist? stronger coil? better design?

 

They are internally identical, the only difference is the housing. There is no need to swap out unless you can't find a b16 dist. onlyproblem with using the ls dist is that you need to cut off the front leg in order to clear the vtec solenoid.

 

is the jdm b16a1 dist and the usdm Si dist the same as well or are there differences? the cap and rotor are the same if im not mistaken.
