its not going to work. the '90-'91 accord have internal coils as to the '92-'93 external coils. its best to keep the external coil dizzy due to the fact that most(if not all) of the internal coils on the '90-'91 accord have a bad habit of failing(trust me. i know this. all three of my '90-'91 cb7s did this. had 4 mechanics tell me it was the main relay or the fuel pump. found out it was the internal coil on it.)

if your savvy with wiring, then you can rewire it to work on the '92 accord. if not, its best to just get one that fits the '92.

It will physically fit, but there are differences.

The 90-91 Accord 2.2L distributor sports two Plugs.
1) A round plug with two(2) connectors and
2) A rectangular plug with seven(7) connectors

The 92-93 Accord 2.2L Distributor sports two plugs also BUT
1) A round plug with two(2) connectors and
2) A rectangular plug with eight(8) connectors

Get the correct reman and save yourself a lot of grief.

exactly. but as i said, unless he knows his way around wiring stuff, its best to get the dizzy that fits his car in this case.

Yep saw the difference and was just wondering so i dont have to go get a reman one for 200+.

The problem with the old one is that when i try to start it just keeps on turning lol like what happened to my 90 accord back in the day. Went and got a reman one and problem solved. The reman one is the one that we wanted to use in the 92. But I will look at it better to see if I can rewire it around. i'm good with that kinda of stuff or if i can oopen the two up and swap out some parts lol. thanks guys.

bad part is the only parts you might be able to swap out of the '90 dizzy and the '92 dizzy is the ignitor. the coil tho is outside of the dizzy and cant be swapped.
