Review on TUPARTS New Ignition Distributor with Cap and Rotor Compatible with Honda Civic, Acura EL 1.5L, TD-73U TD-91U DST17432 3117432 by Jacob Seymour

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Traces of paint are most useful when replacing a manifold.

Fits snugly on my 99' Honda Civic 1.6L. Was easy to install. Has 4,000 km on it so far and works perfectly. Good price. Installation: Remove air filter for access. After marking the connector wires and distributor cap with paint or something similar, remove the wires from the cap and then remove the cap. Make a paint mark where the rotor button is pointing and mark the top distance of the pressure lug to the head or valve cover. Remove the 3 x 12mm hex head screws and then pull out the old one. Remove the cap from the new distributor, transfer traces of paint, install and assemble in reverse order. Gently tighten the retaining screws to secure the unit, then loosen each screw a full turn. Start the engine and allow it to warm up until the idle (cold idle) returns to normal. You can rotate the dial to fine-tune the time by ear if you don't have a time display. When moving the distributor back and forth in the immediate vicinity of the paint marks left during removal, make sure that the turns are as smooth as possible. Tighten the screws and test drive. Have fun driving :)
