The distributor? Do you mean the ignition coil & unit?

Honestly I wasn't aware that you could convert a Honda distributor type ignition to DIS. If you find the product post the link.
The big advantage is no moving parts. Less to break. A friend of mines has DIS in his truck. It came that way stock though.

you can make your own dis the only thing that's needed to FULLY eliminate the dist. (ie it's gone and there's a plugged hole where it was)
is a crankposition sensor, a plug for the dist. hole, a computer to read the sensor and send a spark signal to the coil or coils. CHECK OUT http://www.fortunecity.com/silverstone/fiat/10/
