Well you need to give more information... What car is the motor going into? Also are you already OBD1? Are you DPFI or MPFI already? Do you plan on running OBD1?
You can't just make a post and hope we understand what you are getting at...

well by the looks of it i can see you have an obd2 distributor and as i'm sure you've noticed it's not going to plug right into your obd0 harness. i have never seen an obd0 to obd2 dizzy adapter for b-series distributors so you'll have to go another route. Since obd2 and obd1 dizzy's are the same internally, i would recommend getting a pinout and then swapping obd1 clips onto your dizzy. now that you have that done you'll be able to pick up any ole obd0 to 1 dist. adapter and from there it'll plug right into your engine harness.
lastly, does that dizzy of yours have 9 wires in total or is there 8. (i cant tell by looking at the pics) if there is only 8, its because its an obd2b unit, and you will have to add a wire for your tach lead. the obd2b units do not have this wire because on the vehicles they came in the ecu relayed tach info, not the igniter in the distributer. this isn't a problem however because within the dizzy you will find an empty terminal on the igniter. simply run a wire out of the dizzy and tie this into the correct wire at your engine harness. again, this is only if you have an 8 wire obd2b distributor.
