Just as the title reads, have no idea which one i have, hitachi or mitsubishi. Did a tune-up recently and they looked new, so i decided not to do them, but its still bugging me. There are no markings on the cap/rotor. Is there any other way to tell?

I have a ka24e and my distributor was a Mitsubishi. The way you can tell is when you take off the cap there is a chip looking part which I think has something to do with the crank angle sensor (i might be wrong) that will tell you what kind of distributor it is. Looks like this (bad drawing from memory)



anyways if that still doesnt work I am pretty sure its a Mistsu dizzy
