non ef distributers use different ohms, do a spark test, i dont know if 90-91 tegs are different but i know you cant use gsr dist. out of that style teg

the only difference between the b16a dist and an Ls is one mounting leg.

actually two. one you have to cut (the front leg) and one that wont line up (the back leg). this leaves you with one spot to mount it with, the top peg.
