Default 91 Civic with a fresh B20 swap is only getting spark too two wires.HELP?

I just put a B20 low intake into my Ef. Previously it had a B20 V-Tec and then the car was sold. I just purchased the car back about a week ago and the guy who i had originally sold the car to had gotten state reffed so he put a single cam v into it and had it all converted to obd-1. Now that the new swap is in the motor runs but only runs on two cylinders. it idles and everything it just sounds like it has some crazy cams. the compression is fine and the distributor is brand new along with pretty much everything else. At this point i am just mind boggled. Any help please

When you say its only getting spark to 2 cylinders I assume you hooked up a spark tester to each cylinder 1 at a time and only 2 are firing? Just because the distributor is new does not mean its good. Is it aftermarket? Take a look at your cap and rotor. If everything is good with the distributor/cam sensor I would go after the wiring next.
