Default 98 Ex accord w/ usdm h22a4 install

Trying to figure out what dizzy to use. The car is equipped with a 4 wire plug(interal coil) and the motor is out of a 99 and came w/ 2 plugs(external coil)

The problem is not converting from external to internal, its how do plug up the dizzy? How do how convert the harness? Or do i need another dizzy from another car

Check the FAQ.
I think it's possible for you keep the h22 distributor and only have to modify the wiring.

Hopefully this will help you because this is what I did when I swapped my H22 into a 92 Accord.

Internal/External Coil Issues:
If your car came equipped with an internal coil then the JDM H22 distributor will plug right in no problem. However, if your car had external coil then you will have to modify one plug. The plug you will need to modify is the plug that went to the stock coil. There are is a yellow and a yellow/black wire, splice those 2 wires together. The Black/White wire is useless, don’t worry about it. If you dont want to cut the plug off and splice, jam a 30amp fuse into the end of the plug, making the connection between the two wires.

If your car is external coil and you wish to maintain the external coil you will need to open the JDM dizzy, remove the internal coil. Run the wire from the igniter that used to go to the internal coil out of the distributor and plug it into the blank spot on the distributor’s plug. That’s it. Use the 93-95 Prelude Vtec’s Distributor cap and rotor that you can pick-up and your local dealer or auto parts.

What caps to use:
Internal coil – CB7 internal coil cap/rotor or 00 Civic SI cap/rotor.
External coil – 93-95 Prelude Vtec cap/rotor.
