Default LS swap - dpfi to mpfi wiring/distributor problems

i have been searching for a while and haven't found any answers... here's my problem... bare with me...

car is a '91 civic that i just swapped in a b18a1... i followed all the directions for swapping from dpfi to mpfi found here: http://hybrid2.honda-perf.org/tech/4gdxtozc.html which is the same directions i found on other links.

the LS distributor has a 7-wire plug and the dx-harness had a 5-wire... i know the extra two blue/green and blue/yellow wires are for the CPS, that is wired up. I used a 7-pin clip from another harness and plugged in the colors to match the best I could... I couldn't really tell if the colors were faded or what. does anyone have the exact diagram of which colors match up with what?

there were two white wires that i just guessed on... well i went to try to start the car tonight... turned the key to the ON position and the ECU light was solid and the distributor was making a clicking noise.

could this be because of the white wires being switched... or do I have some of the others mixed up... or do you think it's a wiring problem at all?

thanks for ANY help!

Check your thermostat ground. The clicking noise is your main relay.
