I have a 2000 civic dx hatchback with a d16y7 and the ex 5 spd transmission. The previous owner did an auto to manual swap, but used a obd2a ecu and engine harness. I have the proper obd2b ecu and engine harness, but I know the distributor that's on the car now is for obd2a.

What I wish to know is, are all d16 distributors interchangeable? Can I put a 99-00 distributor on my current y7 despite it having a 96-98 distributor?

 

the dizzys can interchange, its just that the plugs are different between obd2a and obd2b but you can cut and splice wires with the proper wiring diagram

 

Ok what do I need to do then? Do I need to find a obd2b plug to splice into the distributor that's on the car now? Change the dizzy, the whole distributor, or what? I'm sorry, never done this before so I'm still confused.

 

You can either change the distributor or find an OBD2B distributor plug and splice that on.

 

Thanks once again.
