    what does this mean for distributor cap?

    will someone clarify this for me?

    "Internal/External Coil Issues:
    If your car came equipped with an internal coil then the JDM H22 distributor will plug right in no problem. However, if your car had external coil then you will have to modify one plug. The plug you will need to modify is the plug that went to the stock coil. There are is a yellow and a yellow/black wire, splice those 2 wires together. The Black/White wire is useless, don’t worry about it. If you dont want to cut the plug off and splice, jam a 30amp fuse into the end of the plug, making the connection between the two wires.

    If your car is external coil and you wish to maintain the external coil you will need to open the JDM dizzy, remove the internal coil. Run the wire from the igniter that used to go to the internal coil out of the distributor and plug it into the blank spot on the distributor’s plug. That’s it. Use the 93-95 Prelude Vtec’s Distributor cap and rotor that you can pick-up and your local dealer or auto parts.

    What caps to use:
    Internal coil – CB7 internal coil cap/rotor or 00 Civic SI cap/rotor.
    External coil – 93-95 Prelude Vtec cap/rotor."

    I dont know what internal coil or external coil is. however my educated guess would be that the external coil is the extra wire on the distributor that doesnt go to the engine block, instead it goes to some kind of box. my f22a1 came with that box with the extra wire that goes to the distributor however my h22a distributor does not have a plug in for that. what am i supposed to do? am i supposed to change the cap and rotor with my stock f22a distributor? am i supposed to bring that box over as well because my harness is missing a plug and that is the plug that it needs to go into. please someone clarify for me.

    You have a 92 I'm guessing?

    The external coil is that thing that extra wire goes to. On your h22, it's all inside the ditributor.

    Now, you can do several things.

    The cheapest and easiest would be to splice two wires.
    You gota find the plug on the harness that goes to your external coil. It's a plug with 3 wires; thick yellow, black, small yellow. You are going to have to cut the thick yellow and black wires and splice them together. You can now take your stock external coil off.. Just run your distributor like normal to the other plugs.

    2nd thing you can do is convert your h22 internal distributor to external. That requires you have an after market coil. I'm selling one btw, pretty cheap too. There are a few write ups on how to convert your distributor using an MSD coil, search.

    3rd thing is, you can buy an h23 distributor instead of using the h22 distributor. The h23 distributor is externally coiled, so it would be plug and play for you. I'm also selling an h23 distributor, brand spanking new.


    Another option gets a little involved. You can swap out the internals of your stock f22a1 distributor with your h22 distributor. This means everything that has a wire running to it, you will take out and put it in the h22 housing. Do not use the shafts or any actual hardware. ONLY things that wires are running to. You can use your f22 cap and then you can plug it up like normal.

    Do some searching on the subject, it's been covered many times.

        yes!

        the EASIEST method is to stick a 30A fuse into the wire harness plug, therefore jumping the thick black/yellow and the yellow wire.

        just secure it in there somehow. you will figure it out. just putting a fuse in there wont stay....
        F22a1-->F22A-->H22A-->auto-2-5spd-->K20 6spd-->F22C 6spd RWD-->4G63 6spd AWD-->K24 6spd????

          yea, I forgot about that too. Instead of splicing, you can use a fuse.

            I should be getting to this step tomorrow. So basically stick the 30a fuse in the harness connector and since I haven't seen the plug, I can tape the fuse to the connector.

                I don't understand why you would need an aftermarket coil. If its a 92/93, it already has an external coil. Is aftermarket really necessary?

                ...adjust accordingly
