I'm trying to find a good used Distributor right now, and I need to know some cross referencing details as far as parts, I found a 97 civic, not sure what sub model, but are most of these distributors the same, or do I need to find an HX specific part?

 

as for guts yes but as for the casing not unless it is vtec also
the bolt holes for a nonvtec dist. dont match on a vtec head.. and visa versa

whats wrong with yours?

 

they do have a 1.6 a 1.5 and 1.6 is all D" series motors
yes a 96-98 ex dizzy from a d16y8 motor will work or a hx motor

 

thanks, I really appreciate the help

 

ok here is the dizzy i bought this morning....http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=290336165050

I checked local used parts stores, they wanted 150 for a used part, I found one online "new" for 150, then I wen to a U pull it place, and all their civics are stripped down to nothing.

So i'm crossing my fingers with this one from ebay

 

Hope it works. I have a HX, I think I had to get a HX distributor (Hitachi model).

 

that's not good then, this was from a 97 ex..... I hope it works too then....if not guess i'll be selling it on craigslist or something

 

is this what your hitachi dizzy wiring harness looks like?


this is what the one on the hx I'm working on looks like, I looked last night before I made my choice, I guess there are two types of dist. that go on the hx.

 

the one on the bottom is the one im talikng about...

 

It looks like the one in the bottom picture. I could never figure out why there was a difference between the TEC or the Hitachi model.
