Honda Prelude jdm h22 Distributor Cap help
What distributor cap fits a 93 prelude JDM H22? Because the regular h22 doesn't fit. I think its because of the internal or external coil difference.

I was told that a 93 civic would work but I was just trying to find out before I ordered off the internet.

I'am not sure the civic distributor cap will work ... but i do know that alot of the guts are the same among honda distributors . Just get a distributor cap for a 94 h22a prelude ... you will be fine . They don't cost that much at local parts stores ... so i don't see why you should order it off the net and sit their and wait for it to arrive.

jdm is internal coil; usdm is external coil.
you can do what i did, and go to automotive engineering and they have a few h22 caps; and get an external msd coil and wire it up yourself. perfect fix.

94 civic si cap is the right cap. The coil if you ever need one is also a 94 civic si.

I used a D16Z6 cap/rotor for my h22. Fits great.

another thing, if your actual distributor goes out, you can only use a JDM h22 distributor, none of the others will fit. its much easier to switch to external coil with the MSD system, thats what i just did two weeks ago.

This is the internet. You're just supposed to talk up whatever you do know as if you're a salesman for it. i.e. I drive a Supra and a Corolla therefore 2JZ is the greatest and so is the 4A and I don't care about anything else because it's all crap since I don't have it. I also have a stack of $20 bills in front of me, therefore 20>50 and 20>100 and 20>1000. $20 bill FTW.
