he probably means that he cut the plugs (there should be two plugs for the distributor since its a 94-95 GSR harness which is obd1) for the distributor off of the harness. He prolly was just using a different dizzy with his setup and cut the plugs off the harness and dizzy then soldered/shrinkwrapped the wires together. I know this is what i did when my dizzy decided to take a crap on me. And i wasn't willing to fork over $600 for a new one, so i bought a used one. And all i could find was an obd2 gsr dizzy and i have a 95 civic ex w/2nd gen b16a.
