Question:
Can I use a non-obd (1990 CRX Si) distributor in place of a non-obd DOHC VTEC (b16) distributor? My ignitor went out, and to my luck I had my SOHC distributor laying around. I opened it up to see if i can just swap the ignitors, and they looked virtually the same. So what I did was cut off the leg (like how people cut off LS distributor legs) that got in the way of the vtec solenoid. Should this work? Any help is appreciated.

 

i have another dizzy housing that i can sell it needs an ignitor but yes what you are doing will work but its only a temporary thing.

Why didn't you just swap the ignitors? Then you wouldn't have needed to hack the D16 distributor.

 

Thanks guys! Answered my question with two posts!
