    Maybe because it is the same engine. A20A3 was in the prelude's 84-87 si.

    the reason people like lude dizy is because it has more vacuum advance, thus better pull on at higher RPM

    Ah ha....

    But...can you just get the vacuum cannister and swap it over, or is it unique to the dizzy...?

    Tried that, did not work very well. With a canister you will get too much advance at low rpms so you have to retard the base timing, thus canceling out the advantages at higher rpms.
    The advantage is in the dizzy itself.
