1997 DX 1.6L PFI SOHC 16V. plain vanilla civic.

daughter's car needs a tuneup. i call the parts store to price distributor cap,
rotor, plugs and wires, and they say well, is it a V-TEC? nope. well, i need
to know what distributor you have before i can tell you which parts. okay,
what kind do they have? well, a tech or a hitachi. okay, i'll find out and call
you back.

this was a used car with no owner's manual. look under the hood on the
emissions plate, look at the distributor -- no clue that i can see. distributor
just has the old Honda H on it that looks like a little decal.

so how can i find out which distributor i have? or is it so obvious i'm missing it?

search just brings up distributor caps, mostly Bosch from what i can see,
but nothing per se about the distributor.

thanks.

 

why dont you bring it by or call your local honda dealer... normally those guys know what the hell they are doing.

 

just take the cap off and take it in to the store.
