I cant tell just by looking at it but there should be a stamp on the inside with the part # on it. Then just look up the #.

true, there is 1 plug and 1 set of wires without a plug meaning its an OBD1 dizzy (OBD2 dizzys have 1 plug). Looks like a SOHC dizzy to me. Whether it be a Z6 or non-vtec dizzy is beyond me, but you should get a new cap for it for sure...that crack is no good and isn't a performance enhancer lol.

Just take the dizzy with you to a car parts store and test fit a 92-95 DX dizzy cap and a 92-95 Si/EX dizzy cap, see which fits and voila! Come to think of it I believe all 92-95 CX/VX/DX/Si/EX dizzy caps are the same. Correct me if I'm wrong SOHC geeks.

Those cut wires look as though went with an external coil hence the 5th stud on the cap. So then its an OBD2 dizzy with an external coil?

Same thing I was thinking and why I said it looks to be an OBD2 is notice the BLK/YEL and the BLU wires on the main plug. On an OBD1 dizzy, the BLK/YEL and the BLU wires are on the 2 wire plug and they are a thicker gauge wire.
