Distributor ID

[boyricer]

Hi all, Ive been ringing a few spare parts places today after a distributor for my 96 Civic hatch Ek1 1.6 GLi, every place i called told me there are 2 types and I don't think they are are referring to VTI v non.
Question is how do i know which one is the right one for me?

thanks

There's a part number stamped along the side of the distributor base, near where the bolts hold it to the engine. Probably easiest to read if you remove the distributor first. I got the wrong one becuase I hadn't checked this, so I've got a brand new unused distributor I'd be happy to sell it to you if it happens to be the model you need.
