So my car has been misfiring real bad lately and it got to the point I couldn't drive it anymore. I went to a friends house and we diagnosed it as a bad coil. My car is converted to obd1 and actually has an Accord distributor on it that was originally set up for external coil. So I had the cap and coil laying around. Here is how I installed it. Its real easy all you do is run the 2 wires that go to the stock coil to the outside and to the new one.

I removed the distributor.


I then removed the stock coil.


Here is the cap I used. As far as I know its from an 92-93 Accord.


Here is the coil I am using temporarily until I get the money to buy a better one. It is originally from my old 90 geo metro lol


I cut a small notch in the cap to run the 2 wires out.


Here it is on my car. Ignore the crappy wiring and engine bay this car is my beater.


I still have to solder my wires I ran and put a little rtv on the cap where I made the notch.

 

that engine bay scares the **** out of me!!!!!!!!

I originally made a jumper harness from parts donated by some friends but it never ran right that way so I cut the car harness. Bad idea live and learn I guess. This car is done for anyhow. I have a new shell and this time I doing it right and buying the proper harness.
