Default ZC engine distributor number

Hey guys, have a '89 civic si with a zc swap. Last week I went to go to work and the car would not start. It turned over but was not getting any spark. checked my plugs and they were fine. Also check the distributor cap and rotor, both of which i replaced and still not getting anything. Narrowed it down to the whole distributor. The problem is that I am having trouble finding the distributor's part number so that I may order the correct one. Can anyone tell me where that number is so that I may check, or can someone tell me the number that I need? Thanks so much for the help!!

The engine is a DOHC ZC that came in 1988-1991 civic or integra, that's as much as I know about it.

That's the one you want. Make sure you DON'T get the older 86-87 vacuum advance style one.

The plug on the usdm si may be different if not just make sure to disconnect the blue/green and blue/yellow on the usdm si dizzy cuz ur sesnor is located on the exhaust cam outside the dizzy. Otherwise they should be almost identical.

To identify between the 86-89 integra is simple. You want the dizzy from a black valve cover d16a1. Brown valve cover is bad.
