Rebuilding D16Z6 distributor
I am looking into rebuilding my old distributor with an external MSD coil. This will be for a 92-95 D16Z6 and I have no previous experience working on a distributor.
These are the parts I intend to get
- MSD Blaster Coil 2 (PN 8203)
- MSD Coil Bracket (PN 8213)
- MSD Red Power distributor Cap(The translucent red piece) (PN 82921)
- MSD Power rotor or should I just stick to a new OEM piece (PN 8092)
Looking at the parts manual there is another cap seal and O-Ring to replace. My questions are
- Will I need to get new OEM(Are there aftermarket performance ones?) replacement for both the igniter unit & Internal ignition coil or just the igniter unit.
- Do I still need to have the internal ignition coil physically in there or I can do without it since I will be using the external one from MSD.
- I also see that the MSD Blaster coil 2 has a variant that comes with a ballast. I assume I would need the ballast since I am not running a MSD ignition unit?
and lastly, are my parts number correct?

any reason you want to spend all that money on an msd setup when the stock ignition can handle a good amount of hp?
Basically EGs are old and I am just rebuilding the car part by part for NA power. Many of my parts are new, so I guess, it is now time for the distributor.any reason you want to spend all that money on an msd setup when the stock ignition can handle a good amount of hp?
i would just buy a factory honda replacement distributor if you looking to spend that kind of money . its perfect for N/A or even boosted setups.
For the benefit of everyone, here are the answers I found.
- A ballast will not be required for the D16Z6 distributor.
- When installing the MSD external coil, the stock internal coil can be discarded
- Good write-up on installation.

- Parts number are correct.
Now I can order the parts. Will do a write-up on the installation when I receive the parts.

A used replacement distributor may not necessarily be in the best of condition and a new one wouldn't come cheap as well.i would just buy a factory honda replacement distributor if you looking to spend that kind of money . its perfect for N/A or even boosted setups.
I guess it also gives me an opportunity to open another part of my engine for me to fiddle with. Its becoming an obsession.
Ahhh, and the truth comes out. LOL Good luck on the install, looking forward to a good write up.Its becoming an obsession.
