A '90-'91 LS distributor will fit (sort of) and the internals can be swapped over to the B16A distributor, but there's no real B16A distributor available from Honda in the US. You can, however, order it through JDM suppliers or US suppliers who buy JDM stuff.

 

it depends on how you have ur car wired obd 0 or 1 which ever u have u go with.

 

Obd 0

 

Steve at http://www.hmotorsonline.com has some for the b16a for sale. For 150 only to, try this link it will take you right there.

I used a Del Sol VTEC distributor. I don't exactly know if that was the right thing but im experiencing slight hesitation sometimes

 

90-91 ls will work fine aside from one of the 3 legs cant be bolted up but it will still work. I dont know if you are familier with resource.crx.org but if you go over their and find a guy buy the name of lil skull he will tell you were you can get yours rebuilt.Instead of opening up a new can of worms with a used one I would say buy a new or rebuilt.

I ordered one for a 91 integra DOHC,,, I figured it would probably work,, I found a shop that is going to sell a rebuilt to me for only 130.. I read that if the actual dizzy does not fit correctly, at least I could use the internal parts to rebuild my own..although, I could send out the one I have and they rebuild it for same price 130,,,,Cant beat it

 

A crazy thing that I discovered today>>>>CHECK THIS OUT,,,,, the coil from my old DX engines distributor, was the exact same one as the dizzy from my new b16a....?weird ,,,,I knew that it worked so i swapped it onto my b16a 's dizzy!

Brandon (Lilskul) sent his B16a distributor out to get rebuilt. This is the company he sent it to http://www.moto-parts.com/dist.htm . He said the service was fast and he had it back within the week I believe. I think they charge between $125-175, I can't remember exactly what Brandon said. But they replace the internals of the distributor. He hasn't had any problems with it since.

 

Today I went outside and took the igniter unit out of my old DX dizzy. To my suprise it is also the same exact one as the B16a DIZZYS! Guys and gals, if you are having distributor problems, try swapping out some of the internals form your old engine into new,,I guess honda uses a lot of the same parts on different cars. Numbers match up exactly!

 

ya a lot of honda parts are interchangable!
