How come we cannot use the JDM Distributor??
I know its internal COIL.
Its works in japan how come it wont work here?
Im going to be using a JDM p13 so i dont see why it wont work.
Anyone know how to wire it correctly?

the internal coil will work, i dont know what you guys are talkin about

It will work but you have to do some wiring first I think. The external coil on the USDM's has three wires going into it. One switched power, one signal, and one that feeds power into the dist to the ICM. I think you would have to jump the switched power and power feed wires at the coil plug in order to use the internal coil dist. This may not be the case though, I have never personally tried it.
