I got an obd1 distributor when I bought my engine. It has no code on it and looks brand new. If its for a civic can I use it on my B18a1? any difference between civic and integra distributors

 

Idk if u can use it. I do know there different sizes. U might be able to use it, i mean if u get a way to get in there then it should fire up. The ls dizzys fit in the sohc heads by breaking off 1 of the legs.

 

so if it fits it will work? i just dont know if there are any technicalities that keep a civic dizzy from properly working on an integra

 

Yea thats how i see it too so it must work since it works the other way around too. from what i've read on older forums is that the dizzy's are all universal. Just that the plugs change and how they sit.

 

I can help, but need more info 1st....

so exactly what car do you have?

what engine?

and with is the TD stamp on the dizzy you are asking about?

 

He said its got no codes on it. must be aftermarket unless the previous dude shaved it off to sell it.

 

my engine that Im swapping in is a b18a1. got a dizzy off a b1. since the one im talking about looks brand new Id rather use it if I can. it has no numbers. Im going from obd0 to obd1 in my 89 sedan

 

Use it. You ain't risking nothing.

 

you could easily do an obdI conversion, that dizzy will work just fine.

You will need the newer ecu (pr4 or p75), and a 4 wire heated o2 sensor

 

It will work but I belive only one bolt lines up and the other 2 are not even close I wouldn't recamend it....

 

Miss read the post yes a dizzy from a b18b1 will bolt on fine and work I thought you ment a dizzy from a d16 lol

 

dizzy looks identical to the b18b1 dizzy and bolts onto the engine

 

You can only get one or two of the bolt holes to line up right but it will work. I've tested an OBD0 b18 dizzy on my d16....it worked just fine, but just don't make it a permanent fix.

 

all bolts line up? does that mean its for an ls

 

Can you put pics of it on here to check it out? if it bolts up then its a b-series dizzy.

 

Yes if all 3 bolts line up perfect it is For a b series

 

You know, i asked you earlier about the dizzy stamping....i have no idea why you ignored my advise!

You can take that number and google it, it will tell you right away it's application

It will be a TD #

 

has no dizzy numbers! haha heres some pics

 

I know these are simple questions but I want to make sure Im being honest when I sell my dizzy's. Can i take the dizzy cap from the obd1 b series dizzy and put it on the obd0 d series dizzy without any changes in the working of the dizzy?

 

no. obd1 & odb2 caps/rotors are interchangeable (except for gsr and type r distributors). you can swap the following caps and rotors:
92-01 B18A/B
93-95 B16A3 (del sol vtec model)
96-97 B16A2 (from the del sol, i think it goes to 98? but im not positive in that)
99-00 B16A2 (from civic si)
92-00 D-series
(this applies to tec distributors. 96-00 hx civic has a different cap, hitachi made)

B18C1/5 have a slightly bigger/bulkier cap.
