Default distributor cap for b16b distributor?

I have a b20 vtec in my 95 hatch, the head is from a CTR and while removing the MSD ignition to return it to stock, i have run into a problem of finding a distributor cap that fits. What I thought was correct: All b/d series distributor's are basically the same, same cap etc

So I bought a b16 cap from honda, i did not fit my distributor.
I went to autozone (honda was closed) and according to their part numbers, all b series have the same part number, except the ITR cap. That is a different part #. Ive never heard of this before.

Does the EK CTR and DC2 ITR share some weird, different cap that fits no other distributor?

If this is infact true, I guess you learn something new everyday.

Anyone ever buy a GSR cap and have it not fit?

Nick - who is off to look up part #'s on acuraautomotiveparts.com

You can treat pretty much any part from a B16B the same as B18C5, they are exactly the same engine except the rotaing assembly which is destroked to the 1.6L displacement.
Blocks, heads, and electronics are the same!
