I think it might work. The Si distributor has a sensor the DX doesn't use but everything else is the same.
I know for sure you can't do the opposite ( DX distributor on an Si)
Give it a shot.

I don't see why it won't. Just use the a6 manifold. That way you'll stay mpfi and you won't have to do any wiring. The heads are the same casting.


So use a6 dizzy, D15b block/head, and a6 manfiold. Everything shold be plug and play. What's wrong with the a6?

I guess that should work. Someone will correct me if i'm wrong.
