Are the coils the same inside them?

I used a D15b7 dizzy coil in my D16z6 dizzy :thumb:
The guts between those 2 looked identical.
It's just the bolt pattern on the outer case that is different.

That's what I'm doing as well. d16z6 mini-me install on my 94 EG coupe within days. Wasn't gunna do a mini-me, but my head gasket went 'n the b7 head is toast, and I found a full z6 minus trans for $70. Block is a bit messed up I guess, but its never been overheated or anything. Should hold me off 'till I can get the LS/Vtec swap rollin.

coils are the same for most honda obd1/obd2 distributor.
one h motor has an external coil, but the rest use the same coil.
