Default type of distributor?

I was replacing my distributor and took a nap after some work and when i woke up i find out my sister threw away the distributor so i have no idea what type will fit my car. It's a 1993 4DR Sedan Honda civic DX with a 1.5L Non-Vtech

They both spin the same way. Any non-vtec distributor from 92-95 is what you want. Besides, all of the cars you just listed have the same motor.

No, the only difference with vtec distributors is that the legs to bolt it onto the head are in different places. Lots of people cut a leg off of LS distributors to work with b16/b18c motors.

I know K series motors spin the opposite of honda's other stuff, but I'm pretty sure those are the only ones. B, C, D, F, and H series motors all spin the same. I'm not sure about the new R series engines ('06 non-si civics).

bought the TD42U and my car's REALLY slow.
Seller won't give me back my money for it's used w/oil and bolt marks on it.
THANKS FOR THE TIP. At least my SOB car started unlike before. Oh well, i guess ill have to live w/a slow @$$ car whos top speed going uphill is 20mph even when i floor it down(when i've completely stopped and start from 0, not when im in constant speed).
