i dont have the money to pay someone to wire my obd0 harness to obd1 and multipoint and also an ecu jumper. can anyone help me out, give me a precise wiring diagram, and/or tell me what all plugs on the obd0 engine harness must be changed over?

well its all I can afford. but off the ecu issue, what do I have to do special to wire for multipoint and a resistor box since my car was originally auto. Im going to the junkyard friday so I can grab some injectors, a resistor box, ecu and dizzy
will this work?

they mention this. is it only if I was still running an auto ecu or iss it still needed since my car was an auto?
"Automatics and Exceptions
On an automatic car (using an auto ECU), pin B11 is wired to your shifter position switch, D4. Since you won’t be moving that pin, you will need an extra ECU pin. If you're using the tried and true "cut" method, put the extra pin in B12. If you're using the "switch" method, put it in the C2 position. Other than this, the rest of your conversion should be exactly the same."

ok do things in order. it will help your sanity and confusion. Do the auto to manual conversion first. Its not hard and please for the love of god buy the correct ecu and stop posting threads about running the wrong one.
Second, do the mpfi wiring
third, Do the obd0 to obd1 wiring IF YOU DECIDE TO RUN OBD1
DO things one at a time and you wont mess the wiring up. as for the vaccuum lines. buy a Y splitter, connect the 2 lines from your car into 1 and run that 1 line to your manifold
seriously, start googling things before you make repeat threads. Google is your friend. Flame all you want but 5 mins on google would have saved you a ton of time and effort.
Then maybe you would have more cash to spend on parts bc youd buy the right ones the first time

alright I know youre all sick of the newb questions but Im just trying to get my car running. I need to know if I can use a B16 obd0 dizzy for my ls. wouldnt it have extra wires for vtec that I could leave unwired so it would work like an ls dizzy? once again sorry for the newb questions

I searched for you, took 2 mins or less
it will work but it wont bolt up with all three bolts. but it will run it if you are just trying to jerry rig your car together. Search harder and find an ls distributor. they are EVERYWHERE. I could find you 10 in less than an hour if I cared enough

Im using hasport mounts and the engine isnt sitting straight because the block is hitting the bracket for the old front transmission mount. does this need removed?
