Coil Tower Spring
I disposed of my coil tower spring believing that all replacement Distributor Caps & Rotor kits came with replacement of the coil tower spring, as well. NOT SO!
1-AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, & O'Reilly Auto Parts DO NOT sell a replacement spring for Honda Coil/Distributor. 2-Local Salvage yard couldn't help, neither. 3-Honda Dealers that I've called here will sell the WHOLE COIL unit to give you the spring, but not sell the spring separately.  4-Is there another place/shop/retailer to go, or another type of spring that could be used? 5-What problems should I prepare for by using a creatively engineered solution (pump spring from a liquid soap dispenser, cut to 1/8" above the end of the coil tower tip, same diameter as the coil tower)? So far, seems like I've got plenty of *umph* , and no CEL codes flashing. Possibly too much resistance, or not enough? RPMs at idle now at 900/1000, up from 750 (specification) that I had with a smaller, retractable pen spring. Go ahead, laugh...It's working, though. I'm concerned about future issues over incorrect resistance to current thru the jury-rigged spring.

Re: Coil Tower Spring
I wouldn't worry about resistance. Good temporary fix. Buty keep looking for the proper spring. Maybe the dealer can save you one from the next coil replacement they do.

Re: Coil Tower Spring
What's it worth to you? I'm sure there is one laying around our shop.

Thru one web-site dealer that I got my Honda OEM O2 sensor from, they were quoting $60.00 +/- a couple dollars for Coil Tower Assembly. I figure the greatest part of the cost is in the solid state stuff inside. Would a couple of bucks be out of line? You're the seller, though...what do you want for it?

Re: Coil Tower Spring
I've helped a few people out here on AF with misc. parts for Honda's and just charged shipping. First I'll have to confirm I do have one. If I do I will PM you some time tomorrow.

Ok I have about 5 or 6 of them. Here is a pic of it to make sure it's the right one. Let me know and it's yours for $1.00
