Try Distributor King. I have one for my b16a. It works with no problems.

EDIT: ALL B-SERIES VTEC DISTRIBUTORS AND HEADS ARE THE SAME.
Same bolt patterns etc... The OBD0 B16 distributor will work fine.
Whoever said the camshafts wouldn't match - Wrong..

Also a ITR OBD0 - NO Bad, wrong, not as powerful as it should be, especially if you don't even have a chipped ECU for it.
See Rywire.com and get the performance out of that engine with a OBD1 setup, you're losing so much if you're running a stock PR3/PW0 ECU.

Easy now, some of us enjoy our PR3s and ITRs... But as you noted, tune it well. A stock PR3 will run it, but it's losing a LOT of power. Chip it and tune it, and OBD1 &gt; OBD0.

Everything will line up fine. I have it running in my car right now.

If you upgrade to OBD1, Rywire has everything you need including the distributor for less than Distributor King:
1. TD-44U Distributor
2. P28 Chipped for the ITR
3. 0-1 ECU Jumper
4. OBD1 VTEC Subharness mated to the ECU Jumper pigtail
5. 0-1 Distributor Adapter
6. 4-wire O2 Sensor

The whole upgrade is pricey, But if you want reliability and the most out of your setup, it's truely the way to go.

If you have a decent set of torx bits, you can swap the guts from the LS distributor into your existing obd-0 b16a distributor. (some distributors use regular screws instead of torx).

I propose that instead of converting to obd1, you pick up a wideband and a copy of BRE (available on pgmfi.org). BRE is turning out to be an exceptional freeware rom editor for PR3 and PW0, and even supports boost, maptrace/lambda logging, realtime programability via the moates.net ostrich, etc.
providing you have a laptop of course..

...or you could buy my mint condition obd-0 dizzy that has maybe 500 mi. on rebuild see my for sale thread if you want to go this route...

really you should go obd-1. its so much better. i got the rywire 0 -&gt; 1 conversion and rywire makes it so easy (a little pricey but you always get what you pay for). obd1 so much &gt; obd0. obd0 =

Well I thank you all for your help,I did what they said and hacked off the bottom right arm and bolted it on.Only one bolt lined up but its running.I'm making a bracket to bolt the second bolt on but I'm considering this a temp fix.I definatly am considering going to OBD1 but from what I've read its just as good performance wise to stay OBD 0 and reprogram my ecu and much cheaper.Reliability being #1

not sure of your location but if cold temperatures are in your area in the winter, I'd seriously consider changing over to OBD1 as OBD0 JDM sucks **** in winter cold temperatures. I'm on my 2nd sunroof glass. It cracked due to vibrations from hasport mounts and also due to long time it takes for the car to proper operating temps...

A great recommendation as well. The key thing to note is being able to run the best setup for this guy!

true, the gsr head is not pr3, its p72, so it will not match(intake mani only)
