I'm replacing the distributor cap and rotor on my '90 CRX with a JDM B16A. I've found the correct distributor cap...problem is, I can't find the rotor at any of my local auto parts stores. Every rotor they stock is round (looked up nearly all Acura/Honda VTEC and non-VTEC engines) and nobody has the right one. The one I need says TEC on it and it's in the shape of a T. Imagine a T-shape on the end that strikes the points. I've tried the round one, but it won't fit.

I've searched the internet, trying to find the right one, but I haven't turned up anything. If you guys could point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

 

Use a 90-91 Integra LS rotor. Works perfectly fine(I am using it now). From what I hear the rotors were redesigned a while back and that is why you can't find one that looks like your original.

Exactly Also, I think an 89 Integra rotor will work as well on the first gen B16.

 

im using a 93 teg rotor in my b17. it has a b16 head.

 

use the 90-91 integ cap and rotor

 

heres some other b16 care info http://b16a.honda-perf.org/care.html

 

You can even the crx si rotor works as well.

 

95 del sol DOHC 1.6L vtec
99 civic Si

 

OBDII on OBD0.

 

Hey thanks for all the help. That was the right rotor, but when I went to install it today, I dropped the screw in the engine compartment. Can anyone tell me what size of screw to look for at the hardware store?

 

4mm-.7.
8mm long with washers and apply some loctite on the thread.Not the red one...

 

Use cap and rotor from 92 GSR 1.7! Thats what I used LS is to short, and so it the 99-00 Si

 

LS too short?euuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhh????

I've got one in the car.So does my friend.

Not shure,but I believe the one from an OBD 1 would be different.At least OBD 2 is different for shure.

 

I see people selling them one http://www.thepartstrader.com all the time.....

 

Well I changed mine last week, I actually bought all three, the LS, and Si cap and rotor were both to short for my distributor, and the 92 GSR looked exactly like the one in my EF9, and it worked

 

Strange....

 

OK, It's a 4mm screw that's 8mm long, but I'm not sure I understand what the 7 is for...could you explain? Thanks.

 

Here are the Wells part numbers. AutoZone carries this brand, and probably most others.

Distributor Cap JD910
Ignition Rotor JP919

These are what I have of my 1st gen and work fine. The rotor looks different and is not like a "T", it is round. But it will work, I have it in mine.

 

The new rotor comes with a new set screw, it will be too long. Or atleast mine was. I just reused my old one, worked perfect.

 

.7 is the metric thread pitch.
