Will Ls Dizzy Work On B16a2?

[cynosurecivic]

ok, the other day my distributor went. i went to autozone and told them i need a dizzy from a 94 del sol DOHC(sorce of my b16). well they give me the dizzy and i go home to install it. one problem, it doesnt line up correct. its kind of coxked the wrong way. on the original, the flat part we facing up. but on the one i bought, the flat part was facing up and back. it didnt look right and alarmed me. so i went back to autozone. and after checking almost every honda and acura dizzy they had. the one that macthed mine was from an LS. go figure. i havent put it in yet cuz of the rain, but from what i can remember it looks just like the core i turned in.

eric(mdlax) asked if the vtec wire goes to the dizzy, if so, would a dizzy from a non-vtec motor work?

please help, cuz no friggin parts store can help me. and Honda wants almost 600 bucks, just for the part.

my main concern was the "flat" part. noctice how there is an "arm" directly behind it! this was the only other dizzy i could find like that.

heres some pics of the dizzy i bought. if anyone has a dizzy for a b16, please compare them.

Yes and no. It will plug in and work. It is the same diameter and will fit and seal in the head. The only difference is the mounting. I believe you have to cut off one of the tabs in order to make it work. I would honestly just have them get in a Del Sol VTEC distributor or a OBD1 GSR distributor.

well, i tried to put in the LS dizzy and sure enough, the arms dont line up. so i returned it autozone and the dummy's returned an xtra core charge. they gave me 90 bucks too much. SWEET. so i went to a junk yard and bought one for a del sol. should be in tomorow, i'll let everyone know how i make out.

I hope the guys at the junkyard made sure it was from a Del Sol VTEC, and not just a Del Sol. Good luck.

yeah i made sure they to tell them it was a del sol DOHC vtec. the guy that works there is my girls uncle. if only i knew that sooner, i woulda went there first. the funny part is, i kept telling my girl i was going to a certain junkyard. i said the name plenty of times and she never even thought it was the place her uncle worked at. lol. it didnt hit her until we went there and he was working. WOMEN!

i know this thread is kinda dead already, but i just wanted to post and let everyone know that i finally got the right distributor and my car is running.

it turns out that the distributor i needed, that fits my b16, also fits a 93 integra with a 1.7 liter engine. go figure, lol.
