What size allen wrench for the Distributer Rotor?

What is the exact size I need so I can go out and buy it?

It is for a 88 CRX si. They also supplied a new screw and with a note that said this is the updated version of the rotor.

I believe that it's a 3mm allen head.

You'd be better off finding a regular screw to fit it, I've had nothing but trouble with the allen screws working their way off and then leaving me stranded.

Re: (JonGP4)

It's definately not a philips head like other cars. I thought it was odd too but the screw it came with is also the hex head. I guess that is what you call it.

Glad that I was right. I've had the OEM unit sitting in the floorboard of the car for the last week, but I haven't changed it...but then again I haven't been driving the car since the steering rack needs to be changed too, being that it's not exactly safe at the moment
