Vigor (and 96-97 2.5TL?) distributor leak/parts.

Car is a '92 Vigor with the 2.5 liter G25A engine, so this may or may not apply to 96-97 2.5 TLs also. The distributor leak is a well-documented problem. And the how-to is still online here. I got tired of cleaning the bottom of the engine and, inevitably, tired of seeing the oil stains on the driveway, as the car is parked outside year-round. Figured I'd change the cap and rotor while I was at it. The o-rings for the distributor shaft collar are still available at the dealership, but the distributor shaft seal is not. I found one on eBay at a seller named GlobalAutoDistributors. They sell a kit with the o-rings and shaft seal, or just the shaft seal alone. Seal is proper fit and doesn't leak - yet. Cap and rotor I bought from Rockauto (another story in itself, for another time). On replacing the rotor, the screws holding the rotor to the arms on the shaft were not going to let go. Eventually stripped the heads of the phillips screws trying to get them off. So I had to drill out the head of the screws to remove the rotor. Once the rotor came off, it was an easy matter to grasp the remainder of the screw with the vise-grips to remove the remainder of the screw. Hence, new rotor screws were needed. Some rotors may come with them, some not. The Rockauto rotor didn't (Standard Motor Products manufacturer). The screws may be available at your local hardware store to match up, but I got them at the dealership. Part number 93893-04010-08. A dollar each. Two needed, obviously.

I apologize if this should have been posted elsewhere, but I didn't see a Vigor sub-forum. The 1st gen Tl seemed like the most logical location. The AcuraVigorClub site doesn't seem to be too active anymore.
