so i am new to this forum, and just have a question. Ive had my civic for years, and the person who had it before me did some shady things to it, i wont go into it but i was looking at my distributor and realized that it only has one bolt on the top. i went to my service manual and i am pretty sure all 3 bolts should be there. so i got out my timing gun, and took out that bolt and tried to lign all 3 holes up, but they will not lign up. but the timing is still in pretty good shape. so i have reason to believe that the person that had it before me put a different distributor on it if this is even possible??? so 1 is this possible?? and should all 3 bolts be holding the distributor on the head??

 

Yeah, the distributor is a mismatch for your Civic. All three holes should acomodate bolts.

 

yeah, i went to the junk yard, and it turns out some one put the distributor from the non vtec engine on mine. it still runs, but oil leaks pretty bad. the junk yard was all out, but il keep looking. any one on here have an extra 1.6 sohc distributor.
