I've been searching all over google and have found very little and fuzy information on which distributor to use when converting over from obd0 to obd1 B16A. I recently purchased a B16A which has been converted to obd1. it didnt come with a distributor. I've seen a few forums which talk about just putting in any obd1 vtec dizzys. which clearly isnt right.

i searched a few auto parts stores for obd1 b16 distributors and a few come up as compatable TD-42u, td-44, and td-68. i have a td-42u, tried it and only 1 bolt will be able to be used. i can probably modify it to fit the other 2 bolts but i would not be able to adjust the timing.

What options do i have? and what dizzy number should i actually use?


Thanks

 

what year is the motor

 

if the block is with the original cylinder head then i would say its a 89/ 90. (pr3-1 if that means anything) The serial number on the block starts with 1008 (88-91)

 

run an obd0 distributor and repin the wires to obd1 and if u can find obd0 dizzy... or custom a obd1 dizzy to fit..

 

thanks for that info. so i guess a td22 will work just as fine as a td42u (which is a sohc obd1 distributor)?
