Default need some serious help!

ok, i'm new to honda's in general, i drive a 240 but it's still off the road and i've been witout the honda for a month now. sorry i KNOW i should have searched first, i'm just so frustrated at the moment, i'd really rarther a real person answer me.

what happened. got rearended in my 92 civic, motor popped about 20km later, valve dropped into combustion chamber and blew a hole in piston and wrecked head.

Bought a 90 d15b2 motor swapped everything over to make it work, installed it, turned it over, snaped a rod.

so the motor thats in the car as of now, d15b7 block d15b2 head, and b7 distributer.

here's the problem, it turns over, but won't fire. I've tried every trick i know, the ebst i can do is get it to sputter.
Checked spark, tons
Checked fuel, tons
checked base timing, perfect
checked firing order by p[utting #1 to TDC an pulling dissy cap, perfect
clamped off feed fuel line ( this works on my ca18det when it floods out)
checked for fouled plugs, fine, heated up with propane torch.

no fire, no go. i'm all out of ideas

now here's the thing about the head and dissy, only the top bolt line up, and 1 tab is about 1" off. so really i'm wondering if it could be the distributer

I've got a d16y8 kicking around, if it turns out to be the dissy, i'd trade that for a dissy if need be.

thanks!

Lucky.

Kinda easy, but are the plugs gapped correctly?

well here's the new problem, i picked up an EF dissy, problem lies in that, the EF dissy has a 2 pin connector and 5 pin connector...the EG harness has a 2pin and 7 pin connector...uh oh.

anyway to swap the internals from dissy to dissy?

yikes, why not just search for the exact dizzy instead of going through all the trouble?
