Default Distributor for 1.6 Vtec

I have a 92, 1.6, DOHC. B16aa in my 95 del sol and it's not starting. the valves were sticking but now not but still no start. I'm going to just replace the entire distributor but don't know which one to buy. I was all over ebay searching but it's not clear. can I just search for "1992, honda, 1.6 DOHC distributor"? or "B16a distributor" ? will a TD44U fit my B16a ?
will this pos fit my 1992, JDM 1.6, DOHC ? https://www.ebay.com/itm/39422296818...mis&media=COPY

THANKS...

A TD-44U is the correct distributor for your application. An optional choice would be a TD-68U for a '94-95 Integra GSR (B18C1)... it plugs in just the same and operates the same... the cap and rotor button are different.

"Better" in that they put it on the B18C1. The cap and rotor are larger. It is also more expensive.

I don't know why my valves were sticking. from sitting I guess. no compression on all 4 cylinders! it was running strong but then parked in my garage to finish the paint and it wouldn't start. THEN the starter began whirring like it had no load on it. installed a new starter... SAME THING. checked compression... ZERO on all cylinders. squirted some oil in the cylinders and some starting fluid and cranked without the plugs in. slowly i started to get compression. I then did another compression test and I'm getting pressure so I capped it all up and tried to start. no start. I ordered another complete distributor and hopefully this will solve my problem. THEN i can get back to finishing the paint and get it on-the-road. It's a cool little hotrod Si with a 92 JDM 1.6 DOHC and some hotrod goodies like a strong clutch, headers et... it's going to be fun IF i can get it running again.

I sold my del sol S because I had this one almost finished! how do I change my name in this forum?

Distributor won't fix no compression.
