I replaced my ignition coil a couple months ago with a new one (new one didn't come with new screws). I noticed one of the old small Phillips screws that screws down a terminal to the ignition coil was stripped. I would like to replace it with a new one (and have some for back up). I called a salvage yard I go to and the man said they only sell the whole distributor. Ace wasn't any help, just said to look in the screw section and I read from another Honda forum that Ace doesn't have a screw that small.

Also, if I can find some replacement screws, does anyone know if you would put threadlock, etc., on the threads just to make sure the screw doesn't shake loose from engine vibration, etc?

 

don't know, but when you find them don't put threadlock on them. i think they are brass? correct?

 

Being an old parts man I can tell u that these sm problems can eat up lots of time on the job and time being money, well there u go. You can call around to the auto parts companies but more than likely u will have to match it up. Then you end up at Home Depole, Lowes or look for a Bolt and Nut Company in the phone book. Note: Get a bolt, nut, and screw gauge for SAE and Metric to keep around. You can see them at hardware stores hanging around for your use (and their's)... get your own and make it easy next time. Good luck

 

What year/engine are we talking about here?

 

Sorry, I forgot to add this. It's a 1990 Honda Accord DX, 2.2 L, Manual.

Yes, I think they look like brass screws.

 

Looks like the online Honda dealers are selling them for ~.50 ?

93892-04016-08 for example, check this part number......be sure to verify my lookup.
