Default will 1.5 spark plug wires work on a 1.6?

spark plug wires are really crappy on my 91 crx si but i have a nice set on my 90 1.5L lx 4 door engine. will the wires swap? i am thinking no but it is a shot in the dark

They should, but the firing order is different so they might be a little tight in some areas.

I beleive my 1.6 has 1.5 wires on it...it runs fine.

Hmmm, i was pretty sure that the firing order was the same for D-series engines 88-00.

What would firing order have to do with whether spark plug wires would work or not?

In short, yea, it should work.
