you are trying to use a Y8 dizzy and it won't fit? You will have to get a d16z6, or d15z1 distributor and rewire it with the OBD2 harness. The D15B probably uses the same bolt pattern as the d16z6. This info is based on non fitment of a Y8 dizzy. If you just suck at fitting a dizzy, then disregard the advice, I don't know for sure if the D15B is the same as the Z6 (though it makes sense, its pretty much the same motor)

i know for sure you can use a obd2 distributor on a obd1 motor...i just dont know which one...my friend told me the y8 motor is got a different dizzy that wont work...so i was wondering what obd2 dizzy will work on a obd1 d15 motor?

well, the y8 dizzy is like every D series dizzy EXCEPT the D16z6 and d15z1 (both 92-95 vtec, obd1) That means if you have a motor with an OBD1 VTEC specific bolt pattern, you don't get to use any OBD2 dizzies, since none of them are available in that bolt pattern. Now if you had a D15B7, or any other D series, you could cross over easily. See what I'm saying?

Again, this is ASSUMING that the D15B is the same as the Z6 and Z1, thats for someone else to verify.

The Y8 is the same as the rest of them, its the Z6 and Z1 thats unique.
