is it possible to run an obd-0 distributor on an obd-1 ecu if I change the plug on the obd-0 distributor to an obd-1 plug?

 

My initial re-action is that the OBD1 ecu is going to be looking for sensors that don't exist on the OBD0 dizzy.

Compare the pinouts, I might be wrong.

And it would be easier to change the engine harness plug, instead of the plug on the dizzy..

let me know how this goes, I'm interested.

doesnt work....made an awful noise...the pinouts matched up, but I think it mite be running different somehow

 

did you match up what the colored wires do, or just the colors? Soemtimes they use the same colors for diff sensors. check that.

Maybe you can replace the internals in one of the housings with the other?

tried swapping the internals but they are all together different. I tried matchin up the colors. I dunno if I can match it by sensor cause it is damn near impossible to get a helms in english on a first gen b16a.

 

Here ya go.

Here's a little trick, it's simple, but it helps so I'll pass it on.

If you're confused what a wire does, find it's pin on the kick-panel connector, and see what color it is on the chart.

Like say I want to find CYP P, at the distribuotr. I find CYP P on the chart, find the pin, and see what color is run to it.

Good luck!
