Default a6 block with a z6 head?

so let me start. i got a 90 crx si with a d16a6 in it. the guy didnt know what was wrong with it. i pulled the head and found it had bent valves. so i was looking around for just another sohc and found a d16z6. i baught the z6, new dizzy for it, did a full tune up on it, got the kit from ry wire. i pulled the a6 out b/c it wouldnt start. i put the z6 in got it all wired and it would start... so i did a compression test on it and found that one was getting a low reading. i pulled the head and found the cylender wall was cracked!!!!!! so i have pulled that motor out now. so i have a good d16a6 block and a d16z6 head. I got them bolted togather but im not sure what dizzy to use. i tried the one from the z6 and the a6 and they dont line up. what dizzy should i get and is there anything else that i need to get for this swap? or is it just worth me getting a new sohc from h motos or somewhere?

you can use the a6 one with modification if you are using the pm6 ecu and along with the si injector and stuff

Why in the hell is your Z6 dizzy not bolting to your Z6 head??????? that makes no sense unless you broke something. your car is wired for OBD 1 to run the Z6 motor (or at least z6 head) and that means you HAVE to run your Z6 dizzy w/ your p28 ECU. sounds like you have everything you need except some common sense
