Did you retain the Y7 distributor base and swap the guts from your 92-95 into it?

You have to use the wiring harness, sensors and ECU from the d16y7 if you want it to run right. Also, you might need stuff like the dizzy and alternator, etc.

Don't have to, D15B7/D15B8 distributors use the same case/bolt pattern as the D16Y7/D16Y8 distributors. Simply reuse the old D15B7 distributor

No. Retain the original D15B7 intake, exhaust manifold, sensors, alternator distributor, injectors etc. The D16Y8s have weird timing issues when you try to run them with an OBD1 ECU, but so far as I know D16Y7s run ok with a stock OBD1 P06 ECU.
