HELP!! No spark on the B16

[Speedracer228]

Well to start off the car has been running a little rough since i just picked it up, but it felt like bad gas from the car sitting for 6 months. Therefore i filled up with 93octane and let it run for about a half hour and then it started to sound like it was missing. So i pulled the plugs and they looked like i was actually running a little lean, so i replaced them. It then just died at a stop sign and i had to push it to my friends house (really fun). After trying to start it some more i pulled the plugs and there was plenty of fuel getting in but i then tested the plugs and wasnt getting any kind of spark.

So i took the cap of the dizzy and it looked a little white inside of it and smelled like it was burning a little bit. Now how can i tell if its bad or how can i clean it and try it again? Or could it be someting else?

(the car is a 90 civic si with a B16 OBD-0)

the dizzy on the car is deffianlty fried, and it appears to be the wrong one. The stamp on it says TC-05A when it should be TD-22U for the B16a1.

I looked in the reference section and i cant even find where that came from, someone help me out here...

So i researched and it looks like the TC-05A came from the 88 civic awd wagon. Now how it got on my b16 i have no idea?
But someone deserves a swift kick to the nuts
