the SOHC ZC wiring is the same as if you were putting a D16A6 in or just converting from DPFI to MPFI - you need to do the DPFI to MPFI wiring changes to your harness, which includes changing the connector at the distributor - you use the ZC distributor

you just need one distributor plug that goes on your harness - you don't need anything for the distributor - 88-91 CRX Si or HF, 89-91 Civic Si, 90-91 Civic EX, 4wd Civic wagons with D16A6 and 90-91 Integra B18A1 all have the same distributor plugs

so get a distributor plug for the harness and thats it? and wire the plug up as outlined in the numerous mpfi swaps.
what if i have the zc harness and zc distributor?

rob the distributor plug from the ZC harness and install it on your DX harness - you have to use the DX harness and do all of the wiring changes to it using whatever pieces (like injector wiring) you need from the ZC harness - you can't use the ZC harness in the DX car
