What is wrong with yours? The guts of your B16A1 distributor are the same as the 90-91 Integra (igniter, coil, cap, rotor). If you need a new distributor (bearings are bad) then I believe a 90-91 Integra distributor will work, but you have to cut one of the legs of it off. I know the guts are interchangeable, but I've only read that the 90-91 Integra dizzy will fit.

OR without having to modify anything, buy the right distributer for your motor (the one I'm selling a couple of posts above^^)...B16a1 distributer.

I used my 90-91 Teg distributor on my B16a1, but only one of the bolts actually hold it on, I don't recomend it for a permanant fix, but it defenately works. Just lop off one of the ears and bolt it up.

nope, an 88-89 integra distr. won't work.

If you wanna do it right, find an 89-91 (1st gen) b16a distributor, such as the one 3rdGteg
is selling . There are no optional US distributors that match the physical make up/body design of a 1st gen b16 distributor. Your only alternative is to hack up a 90-91 LS distributors mounting legs or find a genuine 1st gen b16 distr.

yes, as far as internals go, you can even use SOHC ignitor and coil in a B16 distributor.

All DOHC vtec distributors are the same, respective to their OBD type.
