Lazy man's distributor overhaul (TEC distributor)

[superburner2]

Do you have a link to a good replacement source for the TEC distributor? The link on the March28 post seems different than my dizzy.

I've seen this one, but seems pretty expensive to me:
86 87 88 89 Honda Accord 2 0 New Tec Distributor TD01N | eBay

Thanks!

Thanks! $80 cheaper!
I decided to do a re-condition.

But next time I have dizzy issues I'll be ordering this one - assuming it doesnt disappear.

Completely revised and updated.

I havent seen this addressed here in this thread, but some TEC Dizzies have the plastic vacuum advance like shown on page 1, and are attached via the infamous C clip. Others have the metal vacuum advance and it has a screw that attaches it. I have one of each, where the metal vacuum one has a shot TDC sensor and the plastic vacuum cover snaps broke off and its held in place with wire ties & super glue.

$64,000 question, can I morph the metal vacuum advance onto the presently working "plastic" TEC dizzy and get the best of both worlds, a working TDC sensor AND a solid non breakable metal vacuum advance??

Thanks!

That's a great question. You have the two. Give it a shot and let us know.

I just want to add, removing the ring that holds the pin in the sprocket in place and removing the 3 screws under the advance mechanism easily removes the shaft and dorman kit #917-136 is the shaft seal

That is valuable info indeed! Thank you!
