I am replacing the component (igniter) show in the link
http://www.mentz50th.com/igniter.jpg, in a '91 Accord distributor. A poster
here was kind enough to send me the unit seen on the right in the photo.
The unit in the left is all green, has an ID number of E12-303, and another
ID number below which reads 4518. The new piece, from a '91 Accord reads
E12-302 and 3918, and is partly black. Safe to try the replacement? I have
already attached the new component to a silver colored backing (which I need
to better align).

There were two ignitors that I sent to you. One of them is from my '92,
and won't work. The other is from my son's '91, and is a good one. I
hope you try the good one first. I wasn't able to tell them apart when I
found them in my tool box. Both are original equipment Honda parts, not
aftermarket ones. bob
