Are you sure you gave them the correct year make and model of the vehicle that the engine was originally from?

^This.
Sounds like they gave you a non-VTEC dizzy for a VTEC engine.

All the vtec b series dizzy's have to line up in your b16 head, no matter the year. They have different plugs but line up. Probably you have a non-vtec dizzy.

Parts remanufacturers do this a lot. Just wait until you need brake parts, clutch parts, and hydraulics parts!
