You can take the pins out of any honda plug. You just need to take the white clip out of the connector housing. Then you get a pick or a small screwdriver and lift up on the pin or contact and it will release it from the housing and you can pull the wire and pin out of the housing.

Yes and No. You actually are not making the obd1 dizzy obd0 but, you are just making the obd1 dizzy compatible w/ the obd0 harness. If you are doing this for a obd0-obd1 conversion it is the best and cleanest method. If you are still utilizing the obd0 ECU it will not work.

i have an OBD0 ECU, my dizzy is OBD1, but my bro said he can pull the pins out of the dizzy plug and make it OBD0, so it wont work? i have a PM6 ECU that was modded to have P28 fuel maps and activate VTEC, its basically an OBD0 P28, will that work?

No. You can convert an obd-1 dist. to obd-2 spec or vice-versa, but can not repin it to obd-0.

Yes you can. Think about this. The pins have a rubber sleeve to keep dirt and moisture out. OBD1 pins have smaller rubber sleeves than obd0 pins. Dirt and moisture will get in there. I wouldn't do it.

To depin an obd1 dizzy plug with the male pins. Use needlenose pliers and remove the white thing. Push up on the pins with your fingers and pull at the same time. Female pins come out the same way but you need a thumbtack or similar item to lift the tab before you pull. Try to do this to an obd0 plug and it will probably get damaged.

What you should do is find obd1 dizzy plugs and solder them to your obd0 harness. Or find some extra obd0 and obd1 plugs and make a obd0 to obd1 distributor conversion harness. Leaving the plugs on your obd0 dizzy should make it easier to sell.

No you should not listen to this guy. What you should do is re-read my post then walk out and count the number off wires on your engine harness that go to the distributor and the number of wires on your obd-1 distributor. Do the math and realize why this won't work.

My obd0 dizzy had 9 wires. My obd1 dizzy has 9 wires. I made a conversion harness. This will work if you're using an obd1 ecu.

obd0 ecu + obd1 dizzy= no workie.

pulse reading on obd0 dizzy is different than the rest

so if i could somehow map OBD1 pulse readings onto and OBD0 ECU, it will work? i have extra OBD1 plugs too, i could solder them to my harness

You must be good at assembly code programming, because I've never seen this done. Either get an OBD0-OBD1 conversion harness for the ecu and use an OBD1 ecu or get an OBD0 distributor.
