You can't use your distributor, you have to have one from either a CRX HF/Si or Civic Si. They have additional sensors to time the fuel injection right.

Distributor won't matter whether you are Auto or Manual.

The best thing to do is depin the wires on your engine harness from the distributor plug, then repin them in the MPFI plug, so you can plug it right into the distributor and only have to run the 2 extra wires to the ECU.

You should be using a obd0 mpfi distributor plug.

the plugs on the distributor are obd0 but the sensors on the intake manifold are obd2 wich is the y8. the harness is being made for mpfi conversion 88-91, on a automatic car.but not sure if the sensor plugs on the harness would work on the y8.
