Default LS distributor...

I need a obd0 dist. for my obd1 LS motor...what distributor COULD work with this? Is it possible to just wire up the obd1 dist. to run obd0?

the dist will be ecu specific, not motor specfic...so what ecu are you using
90-91 teg obd0
92-95 teg, 94-95 sol obd1
96 + teg, 99-00 si obd2

The internals (which is what matters here) between non-OBD and OBD-1 distributors are different. The only other distributor that is similar/same as the 90-91 LS distributor are the 89-91 JDM SiR distributors, that come on 1st gen B16 motors (they're exactly the same with the same internals, just different arms and mounting points). If you try to run an OBD-1 distributor with your non-OBD ECU, it's not going to work.

Now, when you go OBD-1 and OBD-2, the internals are the same... just plugs are different. That's why people buy either one and just repin the plugs to fit their needs.
