As long as the OBD2 Civic has a B series motor with distributor, then yes you could. A D series distributor will not work on a B series motor. The only thing really different between OBD1 and OBD2 distributors are the plugs. You can rewire either one to accept the proper plugs used in a swap.

reading over this again, let me get this straight, a d-series will not work on a b-series motor right? not even if i rewired it. i have to get either an obd2 b-series dizzy which will be plug and play, or i can get an obd1 b-series dizzy and i have to rewire that. is this all correct? i just wanna make sure before i get working on the car again today. thanks.

Correct, for the most part D series parts are not interchangeable with B series and vice versa. Some small things like a few sensors, injectors and such will interchange but the bolt-on parts: intake manifold, exhaust manifold, distributor, alternator, etc. will not interchange.

now with rewiring the obd1 bseries dizzy, is this the proper wiring diagram (from hondasavers)?

the wire colors are the same on obd1 and obd2. Just match the colors.

Honestly, i think a d-series distributor will work on a b-series....i had one on my current project(by mistake) and the car was back firing...but i had other issues...so it may work will never know i have my b16a on(thank God for that)...just my opinion.

it actually does work, I've seen it in action -- but it's a waaaay waaay ghetto setup, and the D-series distr. eventually begins to fail on the B engine. It's not worth doing unless you live in south central LA or TJ for that matter.
