So I’m pretty sure this is one of the Hitachi non-adjustable distributors on my car.

Kinja'd!!!

It’s the bulkier one. Not the sleeker arch looking one’s on the D-series engines, which I believe are the TEC ones.

So I ordered a distributor cap and rotor from rock auto and they appear to have sent me a TEC one.

Kinja'd!!!

So are the caps and rotors on these two distributors swappable? The internet claims that the distributors as a whole are. I ordered a reman from AutoZone (really just ordering through them, it’s a cardone, which is why I can’t pick it up in store) that doesn’t come with a cap and rotor (hence why I ordered them from RockAuto)

So my question is. If the I get a Hitachi distributor from AutoZone, can I put the TEC cap and rotor on it? And if I get a TEC distributor can I put that on my car?

The engine is a F23A1 to be specific.

As long as all the connection points and screws are in the same places, it should work.

Awesome. The screws look to be in the same place, but idk they might be spaced out a little more or something. The reman distributor is suppose to come in soon. So I’ll probably wait and see how it goes together then.
