Default OBD1 D external coil install

So my car has been misfiring real bad lately and it got to the point I couldn't drive it anymore. I went to a friends house and we diagnosed it as a bad coil. My car is converted to obd1 and actually has an Accord distributor on it that was originally set up for external coil. So I had the cap and coil laying around. Here is how I installed it. Its real easy all you do is run the 2 wires that go to the stock coil to the outside and to the new one.

I removed the distributor.

Here is the cap I used. As far as I know its from an 92-93 Accord.


Here is the coil I am using temporarily until I get the money to buy a better one. It is originally from my old 90 geo metro lol

I cut a small notch in the cap to run the 2 wires out.

I still have to solder my wires I ran and put a little rtv on the cap where I made the notch. I know no one on here cares but at least my car runs good now.

when you are poor and your car is broken ghetto things must be done Instead of spending ~$80 for a new coil I used stuff I had laying around in my garage.
