Default Distributor??????????

I just put a B16A3 into my 92 Hatch DX this weekend but I have one problem. The plugs for the distributor is different. My question is, instead of hunting down another distributor can I use the one from my SOHC motor.

i dont think you can. something about the sensors inside the dizzy. what wont fit, the plugs?

a b16a3 is out of a del sol I believe. Go to a dealer and bring your dizzy and check what the del sol vtec dizzy looks like compared to yours. if they look different swap the plugs maybe?

OBD2 connector is diffrent from the OBD 1. What i have done is either cut the engine harness and solder up the plugs for the OBD 2 dizzy or make a nice little harness (i can make you one but you will have to supply the plugs).
