My 1986 Nissan Stanza Wagon 4WD has either a Hitachi or Mitsubishi distributor how can I tell which it is so I can buy the correct cap and rotor? Build date is 1/86, the engine is a CA20E with 8 plugs four on the intake side and four on the exaust side.
Thanks, David Nicholas

Remove the distributor cap and check the rotor. The brand should be stamped onto it. If you are not sure, take the cap and rotor to the parts store for them to verify.

Thanks, will have to take them to the store since they are both aftermarket parts on it now.
