89 EFI distributer interchangeable with 87EFI?

[2ndgenludedude1986]

i have a 89 lxi distributer and want to kno if it will go one the a20a3 in a 87 lude?

[88turboaccord]

Yes same motor...

[2ndgenludedude1986]

i kno that but i kno the 89s had some differances in the intake mani, so i dont kno if the head and dist. was the same.

[88turboaccord]

I believe that the 87 lude had the same motor as the 88-89 accords... Look at the dist. if they are differnt than don't use it...

[carotman]

yeah all EFI A20A use the same distributor.

there are a few changes in teh 88-89 a20a3's . the 88-89 had more HP and more compression. and the intake manifodl was differant. i dont have the 87 dist to look off of. im sellgin to it someone and i wanted to double check before i sell him somethign that wont work on his car. thanks carotman for the help

[BITESIZE]

IMO, It should work.

[AccordEpicenter]

itll work, im using an 87 dizzy now on my 88... same thing

[smufguy]

you should be concerened about if its a TEC or a ND or Mitusba (i believe it was its stupid name) but anyway, the only problem is that some of then had an internal ignitor and some of then had an external one. Thats the only difference in the dist. Why dont u ask the dude ur selling ur dist, to give u a pic of his STOCK dist to have a peace of mind?

[2ndgenludedude1986]

isnt the differant ones only differ with the the carbed a20a nd the efi one?

[MoonScryer]

Only the carbed and the EFI dizzy's are different, but are the same across EFI model years. I'm running an 89 dizzy from an SEi on my 87 LXi and it works fine.

[smufguy]

well in that case, you got no problem I guess the A20A2 had a different Distributor or something. The weird ass european cars.
