well the easiest I can think of is the distrubitor. on the obd1 it will have 2 plugs and on the obd2 it has one big plug. (not quite sure on the obd2 though it's been awhile)

also you can make it easier if you tell us what engine are you refering to.

Check the Date Casting on the head right above the exhasit manifold ports.

OBDII - Single plug distributor, extra sensors on top of intake manifold (USDM), 2 prong plug going into the lower timing cover near Alternator (CKF)

OK, that makes sense. Now will this be a plug and play connection. i know that i will still have to make a subharness for the vtec wires and knock sensor that are not there. but will everything else plug up. what happens at the ecu end of it ??
