'93 1.5 spark plug gap needed please
Thanks

Have you looked at the underhood emissions sticker? It's right on there.

 

Kai, thanks for the tip, I picked this car up recently, and it is a mongrel. A 1991 hatchback, with a 1.5 installed. The original hood has been replaced, and this hood is not readable. The seller also told me that the engine is like 1993, I would love to get some specs on what this motor could do. My intent is to build a great motor, and still use it as a daily driver. This is my favorite year of car.

So the hood is no help for me at the moment.

First, figure out if it's a D15B7, B8, or Z1. You might want to think twice about spending money on a B8.

I remembered I had a copy of the FSM. Spec is 1.1mm (.043") on all '92-95 Civic engines.

 

Well what the f have I gotten myself into. I barely have the care for a week, and some one steals the dist and plug wires dohhhh. Thats ok, I was gonna replace the plug wires anyway, but the dist, the guy I bought the car from said the dist was not stock, and he modified (sp cut up the mounts) it to make it fit. Now I gotta find out what dist he put in this thing and go get another one, as well as get someone to fix the cut up wires.
Serves me right though, first stop should have been to get an alarm, noooo I wanted wheels and tires first, glad they didnt get stolen. Guess what I will be doing today???
Kai thanks for the help, I set them at 1.1 and seemed to run just fine.

ps how do I find out more about what this motor is, can I give you guys any numbers off the block to help me with aquiring stuff for the future. All I know is 1500 single cam V-tech. (though I dont think the right ecu is installed cause i am not sensing a v-tech change at any rpm) .

That's VTEC there, bud. No dash, no H.

It looks like a JDM D15B. The block is stamped "D15B" on a flat spot to the lower left side of the front... by he exhaust manifold.

 

Kai, you are correct there is a D15B stamped on the block. I now have the cables, cap and rotor, and some wires to fix the cut on the harness with. Looks like I will be busy matching up wire colors tomorrow.
