Default distributor questions

first off, the engine in question is a JDM H22a

last night when i got home from the new tampa TR meet my distributor was making a loud noise. it was a pulsating noise, on and off. i started up my car today and the noise was gone, i poped the hood and put my ear close to the distributor and the pulsating noise is still there but i can barely hear it at all. anyone know what this is.

2nd question. a sohc vtec d16 distributor cap is the same as the cap on a JDM h22a distributor(internal coil). is the distributor the same as well?

I also have a stack of $20 bills in front of me, therefore 20>50 and 20>100 and 20>1000. $20 bill FTW.

it has an internal coil, the caps are the same, not worried about that. just need to know if i can use the sohc vtec d16 distributor since the caps are the same.

If you need a new one moroso makes a complete distributor. It will cost less than a oem one. Guy at AE can help you.
