Shopping for a new aftermarket distributor for 93 Civic VX
OEM distributors for the VX are discontinued so I have to buy aftermarket. There are a lot on different parts websites but most of them have little to no reviews. Anyone here have experience with aftermarket distributors?

If you have the old Honda VX distributor, then rebuild it.

Re: Shopping for a new aftermarket distributor for 93 Civic VX
I'd rather just get a new dizzy. Are there any good guides on how to rebuild? I could do it if it's not too hard. Also what would be the price difference between rebuild and buying new?

Yes they are the same. (VTEC distributor)
if you have the tools to work with the bearing and seal, the rest is very easy to do.
price difference: less than half.

The bearing is the easy part. I don't have it handy, but it's made by Nachi and I have bought them before. It's the seal that's more challenging to find.

I believe so. To verify on Amazon, entire year, make, model, and trim of Honda car for which the distributor was originally designed.
Edit: I just verified that the distributor seal also fits the B16a2 distributor on the 2000 Civic Si.
Also available on eBay
