Default Just purchased a '92 Civic. Couple questions...

I'm not very familiar with Honda's, so I have a couple questions for the board. I just picked up a '92 Civic VX for cheap that had an ignition problem. A friend in the wrecking business suggested the distributor being the problem since they fail so much. Sure enough, 15 minutes later the car ran awesome. I'm happy! My question... what goes bad in these distributors? It looks like there's a coil pack of some kind in there, etc. What are the options for fixing one? Used, new, rebuilt, buy parts and repair yourself?

My other question is about the stock stereo. Its an am/fm/cassette and I don't have the security code. What's the best way to go about getting the code?

TIA for your help...
