It'll work, you just have to mod the mounting points on the flanges

No. Get an OBD2 distributer.

A 92-95 non-Z6 or non-Z1 would fit, but you'd have to re-wire the plugs. I'm not sure if they're even the same amount of teeth.

y8 dizzy IS obd2. No wiring changes involved, just some hacking up of the flange like I said.

Yeah, plugs are the same - but grindification of the mounting ears will be needed. Watch your timing too.

Thier basically direct swaps, but re-wiring is required for OBD swaps.

you have to shave the flanges? as in the 2 things sticking out that go into the head? i know you also have to file the holebigger if you want all 3 bolts to match up.. so i would have to do what now? little more detail

just get a Z6 distributor and swap the plugs from your OBD2 distributor onto it and call it a day

Yeah, that's your best bet

And if you're lazy and hate wiring, go to Rywire and buy the dizzy conversion harness
