It is most certainly either the coil or the igniter! Unless you ordered a distributor from Honda, don't bother swapping it out and DO NOT let your dist go back as a core.... Both the coil and igniter are in the dist and are both common failures with the coil being the most common. If you have no spark, get a real Honda coil first. Even if it's not the problem now, you will need it sooner than later. Only if the inside of the distributor cap looks "rusty" will you ever need to replace the whole unit. Good luck.
