Icon3 OBD1 distributor with OBD0 computer. HELP!!!

Ok so to say the least I have a 91 hatch with a D15b vtec swap ghetto as hell. The distributor on it is from a D16A6. So it doesnt line up. Well the distributor shaft seal went bad and is pouring oil now. So I have been looking into distributors and ive found out that the Z6 distributor will work and my buddy has one he is giving me, However someone informed me that I cant run the z6 distributor with a jumper harness because Im still running a pm6 ecu. My vtec is on a toggle switch right now(told ya it was ghetto) so im not worried bout getting a p28 right now. I dont have the money to do a obd1 conversion. What can I do? Can I run this distributor with a jumper for now?

You can remove the A6 distributor internals and put them in the Z6 housing. Thats the only "quick & cheap" solution I can think of. -Later, BR

or make it easier on yourself. replace the seal or o-ring (o-ring normally goes bad and causes the leaks) and trim the ear (mounting tab) and rock if obd0 until you get all your obd1 conversion parts and run the motor right.

This won't work, the internals are not the same from OBD0-1/2

So I cant do it. Well if money wasnt a prob I would go ahead and do the obd1 swap but im jobless and my car is a dd.

As far as the seal goes I have went to the honda dealership and they cant order it. Its got a brand new O-ring.

Do I have any onther options?
