[QUOTE=California98Civic;477735]The sixth gen distributors also have an electronic igniter build into them... their not entirely traditional.
/QUOTE]

Yeah, we used to call that an "electronic ignition", where it was electronics that generated the higher voltage spark with a square wave, instead of just the old coil and points. Apparently the 98 Civic is one of these cars, not yet to the individual coils for each cylinder, that got rid of the distributor cap & rotor, though.
