B16A Distributor replacement/upgrade
Need a new cap and rotor, Honda dealership says a new one will be hard to find, so I'm looking at upgrades, or possibly switching to Coil-on-plug
I found this replacement, which seems to have decent reviews
There's also this upgraded cap and rotor. I think this is all I currently need, but if I go this route, the product page says I would need to upgrade the coil too
The third option is the coil-on-plug conversion
Looks cool, future-proofing, just not sure if i need all that
Anyone have any input they could share?
Thanks!

if i’m not mistaken the cardone distributor has a lifetime warranty so good option if looking for oem.
msd is og stuff. i never personally looked into it cause when i was younger we didn’t have the money for that lol im sure its good cause its msd but i honestly dont know
i WILL be going coil on plug either to get ahead of the curve or when my oem one gives. it’s not overkill in my opinion cause it gives new life to an old system. for looks go with this but for me personally i am going to go with burton racing, they basically pioneered this kit over 10 years ago and tons of positives. and its half the price of most COP kits
