I'm doing my research prior in case I need to replace mine.

I use 88 CRX cap and rotor but I doubt the distro will work. How can I go about getting a 0BD0 distributor for my B16a. From my previous search I found http://www.distributorking.com/preview/en/honda.html Which is a great find. But in case they aren't around when mine goes tits up, and because it's good to have a backup plan, where else can I go or what else can I do. Aside from converting to obd1 unless it's easy. (Sure it would involve a new ECU so no...)

Thanks...

Nice... thanks, do you know if this a rebuild or just of a used motor. Either way as long as it gets me back on the road when mine goes tits up.

Do you guys know if these ppl are including the ignitor with the distributor? I know US parts stores sell them separate.

I believe they are just used. And I don't know if the ignitor is included; I just remembered seeing them on that site before.

its possible to use a dizzy from a integra if you chop off one of the legs from the mount.

Yes, I know of one guy who has done it... I will have to ask which one he used though...

UPDATE:
I had a minor disagreement with some inclement weather. I repaired the guy's fence, hence no need to get the insurance involved. I chopped the front end from a crx at a junk yard and found a body shop that will weld it for $400.

(I have liability...)

So after going through this ordeal my distributor has decided to go tits up. After letting it sit it will eventually start up. [Sign] Honda dealer said that if the tach jumps upon starting the vehicle this is a small indicator that the igniter coil is going bad. [Sign] And lastly, when I tried to see if there was a spark on the number 1 spark plug it started when it wasn't firing a second before. So I plug in the number 1 plug/wire and try to start her. Nothing! So again, I remove the number 1 plug to see if it will spark before my eyes. The vehicle starts up, (on 3 cylinders), but not when the number 1 is plugged in. I watch it and it isn't firing. In frustration I put all my tools away and the car back together. Before I leave I try to start it one more time. VRRROOOOMMMMM! Someone said the igniter may not have enough to send a spark to all 4. (??)

This morning I drove it a little bit, shut it off, tried to start it and it stalled. Twice! So I think the theory about the igniter heating up and cooling down was enough for me to purchase a new distributor. The weird part is that I conducted this research 6 days prior to my accident. Not knowing I would need a distributor soon, but I did.

I tried Honline and they only have used distributors. They were open yesterday, memorial day, but DistributorKing was not. I almost bought the cheaper, used one just because they were open. Luckily I was able to cancel and get a brand new distributor with a 3 year warranty for $223 next day shipping. A far cry from the stock CRX distro that your local parts store will charge. We're talking at least $300+ core.
