The '99 just needs spark plugs and wires, when it does (but not necessarily just because). It uses electronic ignition and a coil-pack on the back of the intake manifold. You can search the D1 section for recommendations on the plugs and wires. There's a couple options that are recommended.

Tonyfnb, are you in the US or somewhere else in the world? I know you said you were looking on the Rockauto website but that doesn't necessarily mean you're in the US. I ask because other parts of the world never saw the GEMS fuel injection system that was in the US DI models from 1996-1999. In your profile, there's a way for you to enter your location so people offering advice don't have to guess where you are. Look at Drowssap's posts and you'll see he's in Boston, I'm in CT. It can really help people offering advice.
Now, if, in fact you are in the US, run, don't walk away from the mechanic that told you you have a distributor. As Drowssap said, you have a distributorless ignition system. The fuel injection system you should have in your vehicle is called GEMS and stands for Generic Engine Management System. It was the first OBDII fuel injection system Rover offered. It was mandated by US regulations. Other parts of the world did not require OBDII compliance until years later. That's why I say that some parts of the work never even saw GEMS. They went straight from the older Lucas 14CUX fuel injection system (OBDI compliant AND using a distributor) to the Bosch (OBDII distributorless) system.
