zc won't fire up...can't figure out why
swapped a sohc zc in my 95 del sol to replace a tired d15b7. car still has the obd1 ecu and harness.
i swapped over all the obd1 sensors to the zc. had to use a obd0 map sensor from crx cuz zc throttle body didn't have map. as far as the other sensors are concerned, everything else should be the same as the d15. put in the d15 distributor and injectors. put new clutch in, put trans. on, engines in, everything's hooked up. double checked all the grounds (valve cover bolt, thermo. housing, & trans.) all good & tight.
tried to start it friday night - no spark. a friend hooked me up with a new i.c.m. and coil. put those in + 4 new plugs and new magnecor wires. tried to start it saturday - getting spark but only 1, sometimes 2 cylinders will fire.
i'm sure it's getting fuel cuz when i pull the plugs - they're wet. i can't think of anything else it could be in the ignition. i'm baffled. am i overlooking something stupid? could this just be a bum zc from hmotorsonline? i'm kinda out of ideas.

thanks everyone. i got it running at lunch. i had the timing sooo far off. after a 4 year rest, my del sol runs again. it's got some stuff done to it, nothing to brag about but it's fun as hell to autox. now it's time to park the ep3 and start on it. k24 swap maybe?
