YES it matters

The d16a8 (your engine) has shorter leads due to the DOHC layout and vertical spark plug holes.
The vti engine , is SOHC and has banked spark plug holes....so the leads are actually longer.

i had exactly the same problem as you man. after much searching i found the correct part #. u should get RC-HE81. although this part number is for a DOHC CRX, it has the same engine as us. will be a direct fit man:thumbsup:

You could have just went to a Auto store and asked them lol, they would have given you the number as it's in that huge book.
