h23 distributor

[MRX]

hey guys, i'm having some problems with the seal inside my f22a1 distrib. I've been talking to acclude and he has a h23 distrib that would have no problems bolting up to the f22 but neither of us know if the distributors timing will be different from the f22's. I want to switch to an external coil is the thing. And since this is the only offer i've had on an external i would like to try it (unless one of you has a distributor with external coil...please contact me if you do). I need to know if anybody has any experience with this distrib on the f22 or comments. Preciate

I dont think the h23 will work because it is intended for a twin cam motor. also Im not so sure if it bolts on correctly. But 92 accords have external coils, use that instead

the problem is finding a 92-93 distrib for under $100. Acclude is including a warranty on the distrib in case it doesn't work so i'm not losing much money here...just shipping charges

[phatdoughnut]

blah, just go to ebay and buy a brand new one for 169 bucks... i know many people who bought some, and they said that guy is great!

Um... Honda List price for a BRAND NEW OE distributor is $141.60. Part number is 06301-PT3-A20, and it doesn't include the Cap, Rotor, or igniter, but the rotor and igniter are the same for both distributors. I can ship it out for that price if anyone needs one.

The P14 distributor (Acclude's) uses the same cap, but a 30303-P08-003 Rotor (same as the PT2, but with a hole for a screw in the side of the shaft), so the timing should be the same on it, but the mounting bracket may be different, thus making it less stable when bolted down. I'm not really sure though as I don't have one here with me. They ALL use the same 30110-PA1-732 O-Ring though, so they all fit in the same hole.

[MRX]

acclude stated that it mounts up perfectly. His only fear was that the timing would be off

There's no compelling reason to switch to external coil. I would just stick to what came on the car. I assume you've already replaced the o-ring on your dist? That's the first thing to try since its like a $3 part.

[MRX]

replaced o-ring, and the reason i'm switching to an external coil is because i don't know of any aftermarket internal coils for an f22. I can get msd externals for like $20 all day long but the internal coil i just bought raped me of $70 i won't get back. I'm going FI and i'll need a stronger ignition so why not start now? If the seal breaks on the next dizzy then atleast my coil won't go with it this time

[NutBucket]

Huh. I always figured if the seal went it'd take the other stuff with it to, not just the coil.

[MRX]

the seal is going to take the other stuff with it, but i can get entire (used) dizzys for for like $65 shipped with only a couple miles on them and a warranty for 30 days
