Distributor from japan

Hello,
I have a honda genuine distributor that came with my Engine D15B imported. Can I use that distributor on my 94 honda civic (dx 1.5 L - automatic transmission)? are the electrical specs the same?

Re: Distributor from japan

the connectors are different. Can i swap the ignition coil, ICM, cap, rotor instead of the whole distributor?
