Default reman Dizzy

Have any of you guys had any problems with remanu- dizzy's??
I had one go out on me after about 4 years of good use.. Normal,
But the one It was replaced with the rotating clip,Coil?? Thing that connects to the cam had a wierd griniding noise, It drove ok for a couple of days then it died.. I had another one sent to me and It ran good for about 30 min then t=I lost spark to my plugs.. I know I should get a new one but money is very tight,, have any of you guys had as shitty luck with dizz's as I have??
also on my d16z6 My crank pulley is supposed to have a mark for tdc, Its so old the mark is gone from it so I set it to tdc by "feel" screwdriver in spark plug hole until I rotated it there.. I know honda d series engines fire the plug like 16 deg before tdc so I may have to adjust it somehow.. the cars timing just feels screwed up when It actually is running.. loosining the tensioner pulley isa bitch for my engine.. any thoughts??

I've had Autozone ones for years. No problems. Plus free replacement if needed.
One I put about 100,000 miles on and the bearing was going, so I replaced it, this one has about 60,000.

Edit: I do remember one wouldn't work with the black plastic cover under the rotor, it was scraping. I took that off and it worked fine.

I had that same grinding noise in my old distributer. It dided on me too. It is the bearing in the dizzy that is failing, and once it goes, ur screwed. I have no problem with gettting reman distributers. Might as well try a junk yard for the time being. I used reman stuff before.
