HELP ...HELP ...HELP ...

ive got a 88 civic 4 door.with a 99 civic si (1.6 vtec) in it

the engine is a b-16

the other day the car jumped timing while trying to start .. i got a new timing belt and tenshioner .. and found that the distrubutor waz fried .. soo ive tried to order many new ones and ive had absolutly noOO luck ..\

this car has been converted from internal to external coil .. i have MSD .. wires,rotor cap,and coil
i cant find a distributor to fit the car and bolt to the car correctly ..
( i have a msd pro cap if it helps any)

and both the electric plugs on the distributor are round ....



also/ is it possible to bend valves by removing the timing belt without being at TDC...

i have full compression in all cylinders .. except #1 it has about 155 in it ..

Default RE: HELP... HELP ..HELP...

I'd suggest converting back to stock to get it running, to make sure everything else is OK. The distributor mainly has the reluctance sensors in them which are pretty indestructable and the igniter module, which is destructable but seperately replaceable. I don't see a broken timing belt being able to "fry" the distributor, it's going to just stop turning.
