I believe the distro shaft is keyed meaning it is hard to not put it in right. Check the wiring. What is the stamp on the new distro say? Its a stamp that may look like TD-24U. In all honesty, it sounds like your new distributor may be bad. The code 9 is a code for the camshaft position sensor, which on new hondas is in the distro. It may be located in your distro too...
