    Only install a Honda genuine distributor housing--aftermarket housings for Hondas are not reliable. It's fine to use aftermarket Ignition Control Module and coils. You may even want to use your old ones, to save money.

    Call your local Honda dealer for the part no. of just the housing. Then, shop online for the best price for a Honda genuine part.
