Default D16Z6 - Ignitor/ICM to Ignition Coil Wire

Good afternoon, H-T! Long story short, I misplaced the highlighted wire. Was test-fitting hardware at the store and brought the wire with me and cannot find it now.
If someone has their distributor apart, could someone give me a resistance reading for the wire/wire gauge size so I could make one myself? Hopefully I find it and do not have to resort to this!
Thanks.

A conventional copper stranded wire with the appropriate female ends will suffice... a specific resistance is not critical.

The wire you need is similar in almost all Honda Distributors... you can find a junkyard dizzy and remove the wire from it and install it in yours.

Depending on how old the dizzy is just get a new one, not worth the headache or stress of knowing if it is right internally. Plus your only going to know its not when it fails... may leave ya stranded

OEM dizzy's cost like $5B dollars now.

I'm going to try using a AIP Dragon Fire distributor on my turbo build, hopefully it works out well. Domestic guys seem to have very good results with them, but high revving imports are a different animal so time will tell.

I don't believe that this part can be purchased NEW from Honda... notice that there is no part number in the exploded diagram above.

Yes at this point unless your trying to do a show car with OEM everything just find a good aftermarket one.

I purchased a new ignitor and coil for the OEM housing. I am trying to avoid replacing OEM parts with cheap aftermarket whenever possible. Thanks for the help everyone!

my original failed at 400k+ miles.
the bearing eventually disintegrates plus the internal wire insulation starts going before that.
api brand from parts geek is what i went with and swapped in the ntk coil and nec icm (not easy to find the latter, delphi is decent but kinda hit or miss).
i'd like to get the old one rebuilt but can only find guys that do 60s muscle cars.

To those of you looking for this particular wire (ignitor to coil), I found it in a parts diagram for a DC2/DB8 Integra GSR.
Part number is 30512-PR4-305, "wire, distributor"
