as the title says, i need a distributor for a JDM B16. if anyone has one they are willing to sell, hit me up, or if you know if there is a USDM replacement, that would help too. i heard you can take a 94 GSR dist. and rewire it, but i dont know how. can anyone help??

I can get you a brand new one ex Japan, should cost about US$600
(that is not a Typo)
Otherwise you should be able to use one from a B16a in the Del Sol, but I have heard the one in the '99 Civic Si is differnt.
(you can use it, but you need to change the VTEC solonoid as well)
Otherwise one from an early B18c or B17c powered GSR integra will work.
However altough it will fit and the car will run I do wonder if the ignition map is the same. Its possible that by useing it you might not be getting the full potential from the B16a.

well, the dist. works fine, it's just the #1 cylinder position sensor is out, so my check engine light is up, but i still get VTEC and everything. anyone know how to fix the sensor by itself?? will rebuilding it fix it??
