Default Distributor Wiring? 91 civic hatch

i have a JDM obd0 b16 that i am putting in my 91 ef dx the only part i am stuck on is the distributor plug. i have seen a couple different write ups about depinning and repinning but no colors seem to match up with my JDM b16 dizzy. im using the DX harness on the b16. i am pretty much looking for a pin out (in writing not colors) of both distributor plugs.

factory B16A distributor connector is the same as the 88-91 Si connector - these are the wire locations for the DX and Si connectors - the blue/green and blue/yellow wires are the wires that need to be added from them ECU when making the DPFI to MPFI wiring changes

The orange wires on the main harness may appear
to be a tan or peach color after fading with time
and exposure to the elements..

Just start with the colors you are certain about,
work your way to the ones you aren't sure of..

I believe the difference there is because the ZC has the cam position sensor
ajacent to one of the camshafts instead of inside the distributor..
