Default dizzy

hey guys well my ignitor went out and i am planing on buying a new dizzy

i took the dizzy off to look for the part number but it was a remanufactured unit and the stamp has long dissapeard so im wondering if anyone knows the oem part number for a 91 crx dizzy

and i found this dizzy and am wondering if it is since both the hf and dx are 1.5 litters

it is way cheaper than what my local autopart stores charge and i want to keep my old dizzy to rebuild it

What is your CRX, a DX or a HF? If it's a DX, then you can use that distributor. If it's a HF, you cannot.

service plug is located on the drivers side toward the front of the wheel well with a yellow cover on the plug, the plug has two wires

It seems a good enough gamble.To me, the alternative is to find a decent junkyard dizzy, cannibalize the housing, clean the housing (the three engine control sensors get oily and dirty), install new, all OEM cap, rotor, igniter, and ignition coil, with new O-ring seal and shaft seal. This will run you about $200 total for parts.
thank really cleared stuff up for me as for your advice for piecing a dizzy together at a junkyard i will right now i am just going to go with the dk for a quick fix and it will be my backup dizzy as soon as i piece my junkyard dizzy together the reason i am not going to fix my old dizzy is that the bearings are shot there is alot of red dust in the shield inside the dizzy thanks for the input
