Default SOHC ZC dizzy plug not matching Std. harness's dizzy plug!

Just like the title says, the plug on my <U>S</U>OHC ZC's distributor does not match the plug on my Std. Civic's wiring harness. How can i get it to work? all the wiring diagrams are for DOHC ZC's. How do i get my SOHC wired up?!?!

I had that writeup already only one paragraph helped me:

"...For SOHC engines such as the Si

-Connect the C1 wire to the blue/green wire on the CPS (the sensor is inside the Distributor on a SOHC engine). For doing this I suggest swapping out to the proper Si distributor plug so it is all plug and play and looks clean.
-Connect the C2 wire to the blue/yellow wire on the CPS."

That's cool, but where do the other wires go?!

The old c1 goes to b10, and the old c2 goes to b12, then the new cyl pos wires go in c1 and c2, get it??

Ya, I get the ECU wiring...

But my male Distributor plug on the engine wiring harness doesn't match the female Distributor plug on the engine! I would like to just cut the plugs off completely and solder the wires directly together, but which wire goes where?

In other words...

I have seven wires at the dizzy plug, two of them i know go to the cyl pos wires.

But, i have five more i need to match to the other five on the engine. How do i know which goes where?
