looks like the car was an automatic - you need to move the bracket on the crossmember to the other set of holes for the manual

remove the other 2 bolts then hit the mount and knock it sideways and you can access the rear bolt. or use 2 swivel joints and an extension and you can get at it.

you need 88-89 (not 86-87) Integra distributor - the A1 and DX distributor connectors are identical - if you haven't already swapped connectors, just leave the DX connector which plugs right in - run/extend wire from ECU pin C1 to the blue/green wire on the Cylinder Sensor - run/extend wire from ECU pin C2 to the blue/yellow wire on the Cylinder Sensor - use the 88-89 Integra PG7 ECU - don't try to use 86-87 Integra PG7 ECU - it won't work
