Default anybody use an accord dizzy cap like the msd cap?

i've heard that you can use the accord dizzy cap for the use of an external coil instead of buying the msd one. has anybody done this? would it work? i think the cap would be from a 94 accord dx model.

I know I did it on my 90 accord. I used a 92-93 accord ex cap because they use an external coil. I haven't tried on my B18 yet, I use the Crane dist kit.

I use one on my car too. Don't remember the year though. Just had to drill a little hole for the wires. Works great.

Here is a couple shots of it:

I have been using a 94 Accord LX cap on my Y8. Works like a charm with MSD. I did find that using my stock button caused firing problems, so I used the 94 Accord button with no problems.

power towers.


the whole point in buying the accord cap is so you dont have to modify your current cap. i still stick with the accord cap, an effective effortless install
