Does anyone know if dizzy king is out of business?

When I pulled the spark plug wires off the dizzy, the cap broke. I ordered a Honda (OEM) cap thinking it would fit, but it doesn't.

I'm in a real bind here with him, does anyone know what cap I can get that'll fit? I'd like very much not to drop a ton of money for a new distributor.

 

try a gsr cap....they were bigger....think it is the obd2 gsrs

 

I don't have one easily at my disposal. The Type R I purchased from Honda was slightly too big to fit the Dizzy. The holes were like 3-4mm off.

You sure it'll fit? haha

 

I had that same issue, get a LS one

 

Ok, you SURE the LS will fit? Time is a huge issue for me. I need a cap that works by Wednesday haha.

 

stop by O'reilly's and pick one up the DK bolt up points to the head are the same but I ran into that same deal WTF cap to big???? then tried and ls one and fits should go with a ls rotor as well

 

O'reilly's is a car part shop I assume like Autozone or something? I don't have one near me, but I can stop by another car parts store and grab an LS rotor and Cap.

I hadn't thought about the rotor...good call.

 

Toots... you prolly do not have an ITR dizzy and most likely a B16 one. Those dizzy caps are smaller than the P73 specific cap. I would get a b16 cap if I were you

 

there isnt such a thing as a P73 cap, just P72, but for some reason itrs do have a diff rotor P73 number

but napa carquest autozone etc places ya

b16 99 si cap number,
P# 30102-P54-006 is same P# as a LS like I said lol

 

the king for whatever reason decided to use the ls cap and rotor. you could probably find a ton of hits in google for this very thing. personally, i don't think their distributors are oem quality but they work in a pinch if you're piecing together an engine. 9 out of 10 times the only thing that dies in an oem unit is the coil

 

Take the cap with you and make sure everything lines up the same in the store that way you arent guessing.

 

Yea that's what I planned to do. Thanks for the advice.

 

P73 rotor has woven frp (fiberglass) shielding on the top and bottom of the rotor were it contacts the points. Probably keeps the spark from jumping to the wrong point with higher compression or rpm.

 

So is the Distributor King still in business?
