eh that sucks...

h22 and h23 use the same dizzy, thats what im running. make sure you get the right plug if its obd1 or obd2, making a conversion harness is easy, but its one more step.

"According to the diagram that I have it shows that there is a Blk/Yell and Yell and a Blue wire to the external coil. You will connect the MSD as follows, take the Blk/Yell and the Yel and remove from the coil, then connect to the small red of the MSD Unit. Take the Blue of the coil and connect to the white of the MSD Unit. This will leave no wires on the coil at this point. Then from the MSD Unit you will take the orange and connect to the coil positive terminal, which is where the Blk/Yel was originally connected. Then take the Black of the MSD Unit and connect to the terminal on the coil where the blue was connected. These will be the only 2 wires on the coil. The only 2 wires left will be the heavy red and heavy black to battery."

is it an h22a or is it a USDM H22? JDM use an internal coil and the USDM use a external

best bet is to go buy a manual for the car, i run a MSD coil with my h22a so i converted from internal to external. sorry.
