Did you see that? It ends in 2 hours, so act fast! I was considering it, but realized I'd need to convert it to obd-1. Hope that might help.

(please don't kill me if it's a bad product or anything)

wait... I must be missing something. I thought the d15b and d16z6 distributors were basically the same thing. I thought you could use a d15b dizzy on a z6 and vise versa. If I'm blatantly wrong, please correct me, because I was looking for d16z6, d16z1, and d15b distributors for my z6 head.

don't confuse the old obd0 d15b that was non-vtec with the JDM d15b vtec. On the d15b vtec, the distributor is the same as the z6 and the z1.

so if you already have the jdm d15b vtec distributor, you can make it work in your EF. You will probably need an obd1 ecu and a conversion harness though.

yeah, that's what I was thinking too. Were you told to use a z6 dizzy because it's obd-1? Doesn't matter I guess...you can convert yours for far less than a new distributor anyway.
