Default sorting out distributer wires, how do i know what's what?

ok so i really want to use my obd1 b series disty and my 00 ex engine wiring harness. why? because the disty plugs into it perfectly.

to do this, i need to figure out what the wires are, and match them up. the digram above doesn't apply, but there must be some way to look up what the wires are and what they do. and them match them up. maybe a shop manual or something?

anyway here are the wires and what color they are, they are written in order of where they plug in on the connector: meaning, when i plug in the EWH to the d disty, blue plugs into blue, red plugs into white/blue etc. similarly, when i plug the EWH into the b disty, blue/green plugs into blue, yellow plugs into yellow and so on

OBD1 b series disty plug --------00 ex engine wiring harness---------------obd2b d series disty plug

blue/green------blue--------blue
yel/green-------yel/green---yel/green
pink*/blue------green-------pink/blue
yellow----------yellow------yellow (orange? tough to tell)
white/blue------red---------white/blue
blue/yellow-----white-------white
***blank**----black/yel----black/yell
white----------black--------black

OD1 2nd harness
light blue
black/yel


seriously guys i need help to figure this out, i am not a mechanic

Do it by position of the wire, not by the color. Not only can a distributor have 1 color wire for the distributor side and then 1 color for the harness side, but Honda also decided to randomly use different color wires for certain cars.
