Ok, so just got my 1988 Accord Limited, it's carburated and automatic and not running very well so I decided to give it a tune-up. The only problem I ran into was getting a cap & rotor. I've tried aftermarket and genuine Honda parts, but none seem to fit. I believe I've got the Hitachi distributor, the cap is round with some square edges on a couple of the sides (as opposed to other choice which is totally round.
The only problem is that of the distributor caps that looked to be the right shape, the holes for the screws didn't line up. The guys at the Honda dealer were baffled. They think the previous owner changed the engine, or at least the distributor, with one from an American version Accord (mine is a Canadian version Accord).
The cap and rotor that are on right now are in poor condition and made my a company called "Tec" or "Tek" (sorry, can't remeber spelling). Any ideas?
