Good question--I like the way you think. This link should help, particularly Items 15 and 16:

Honda distributor housings tend to last 50,000 to 100,000 miles--replace accordingly. Only use a genuine Honda distributor housing, where it's okay to install an aftermarket ICM and coil to keep the cost down.
Hi TxGreaseMonkey,
You are absolutely right. Last week my 1992 Honda Accord EX died unexpectedly on the middle of HW 183 in Austin, TX. I tried to start several times, but it could not start. I almost got a rear-end collision and my wife called 911. A police car pushed my car to a HEB parking lot. Then a tow truck took my car to a repair shop where a distributor, set of spark plugs wires, and an ignition coil were replaced. I insisted on Honda parts but they only had NAPA parts. I had no choice but accepted because I desperately needed the car. It has been running perfectly since then. Could you please let me know how soon I need to replace the distributor and the coil again because they are not OEM parts? I really appreciate your help.
We have never had any problems with aftermarket coils and ICMs, which are located inside the distributor housing, at AMHD--they have been very reliable. Aftermarket distributor housings have been a totally different story, however. It's hard for me to advise you to get rid of your new NAPA distributor housing. It's a call you need to make. I'm just giving you my experience from helping many people over the years. I would replace it now, if you can get your money back, or at the very first sign of trouble.
