I have a question for any of you that is familiar with JDM ignition systems. 2 years ago my brother and I installed a 93 JDM H22a BB4 into his accord. The engine runs great (most of the time) but it has just ate its 3rd distributor. We left the internal coil dizzy on, but im wondering if anyone knows if MSD or anyone makes a better quality dizzy than the ones on EBAY? All 3 times now it has been the crank sensor that goes bad in the dizzy. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

 

Well anyone would make a better quality distributor than ebay, and MSD is still only a notch above ebay. Should have stick with the OEM Honda distributor and replaced the electronic components with reliable ones...... There is a reason the remans are 1/4 what an OEM distributor is worth.

In the three that you have purchased you could have bought a real distributor.


Look for an OEM distributor, doesn't need to be JDM. IIRC there are other USDM external coil distributors that will work. Check the FAQ here in the Accord section and in the Prelude section. I'm sure the USDM part number is around.
