Had the same problem, did the same swap. 1st gen B16A converted to OBD-1 and installed in a 93 EX.

Yes, you need an OBD-1 B-series distributor. The number of teeth inside are different. Use a non-VTEC one and cut off the front lower leg to make it fit and save money. Also, make sure you're using OBD-1 injectors(from your old motor). OBD-0 ones require a resistor box.

Other things that I needed to complete the OBD 0->1 conversion:

Firewall mounted MAP sensor and EVAP purge control solenoid valve

4-wire gray plug O2 sensor

Bseries OBD-1 thermostat housing with temp sensor(mine came from a '92 B18A1 teg)

chipped P28 ECU(this way you don't need a knock sensor like the P72/P30)

For me, as soon as I got the right distributor, it fired right up. You can probably sell your obd-0 one for $100. Good Luck.
