will an obd0 distributor work on an obd1 car?
building a crx with an ls at the moment, all ready to go except i need a distributor. im all wired obd1 already, but im having a hell of a time finding an obd1 dizzy at a decent price. got an old obd0 ls dizzy laying around though, if i swap the plugs on the harness will it work or is it electronically incompatible with obd1?

ok sorry i meant in from obd0 to obd1.
I stand corrected as in a OBD1 ecu + obd0 dizzy will NOT WORK.

OBD0 and OBD1 distributors are internally different and
NOT compatible.
EF YU, you are correct!
The reluctor wheel inside have different tooth count and ultimately send the ECU different electronic signals.
OBD0 - 16teeth
OBD1 - 24teeth
The jumper harnesses do NOT solve this problem.
They simply allow you to plug in different distributors (to match your ECU) into your existing engine harness.

I read this post completely backwards. The only way that Rywire harness works is if you had an OBD0 chassis and wanted to use an OBD1 Distributor with a matching ECU. You cannot use the OBD0 on an OBD1, they can't be interchanged. That's what I get for being half asleep while posting.
