Bleh, I don't know much.

But um here's what I can tell you though.

I believe the 1st Generation B16A uses a Cable Clutch Tranny.

While the 2nd Generation B16A uses a Hydraulic Tranny.

that doesnt really help cause whoever swaped could of used either tranny. That ECU you just mentioned is a OBD2 ECU. So there you go, it's OBD2

Why are you using a P72 on a b16?? It doesn't have a dual intake. Just use a Si ecu.

but still engine itself could be obd1 originally and they could of changed dizzy and engine harness. But most likely its a obd2 also, much easier to do and more available

Yes. One of the circles will say 96, or 98, or 00, etc corresponding with the year


If the VIN on the block matches the VIN on the head then it's original motor

You can also look up the year with the VIN. You can look up the month and day the car was made, what city it was made in, and more.....
