Do you have a distributor already? I would suggest fixing that one, depending on whats wrong with it.

Of the 7 that I have put in for people over time from ebay, they come out of the box with severe defects. One of them had the reluctor bust the sensor during shipping. Another one had a malformed housing, and the cap would crack in half when you installed it. One of them had the TDC sensor timing all jacked up and would knock under acceleration. The rest had electrical faults out of the box, bad pins, broken wires/spades, busted ignitor.

If it was original Honda I rebuild them now with new bearings and seals, much safer alternative, and cheaper as well, provided you have small pullers to do the job.
