Default 90 civic too many problems

What up guys so here is the problem with my hatch i after successfullt completing my b18 swap I cam to realize little things here and there. To start off I got a code 8 wich is tdc so ill be replacing it with a know good distrubutor too see if it goes away. My next problem is that when I swaped in my 10 offset dr20s I noticed the caster on my drivers side is way far back into the well weld and did some research and decided to go ahead and replace the front lca and turn it all the way in the radius rod and still its far back so I'm a little consufed nothing seems bent when I was under the car. My next issue is that I have a bi..ch of a parasitic draw and kills my batt overnight. I did a parasitic draw test and found that my alarm and fuse 12 wich controll the clock,radio, dome, light, trunk light, cigarrete lighter and relay were the fuses that drew the most milliamps out and brough it down to a good reasonable portion but I took them off and left the car and still died wth lol. I'm stuck in all these problems and really need the car back on the road if u guys can help me let me know aite thanks dudes

I had a draw just like that, ended up being the seat belt rachet lock. It was stuck on. Get a book with wiring diagrams and see what components are drawn off of that fuse.

For starters what did you change when you did the swap suspension wise - Also what was used?

The draw could also be a faulty alternator regulator. If it's killing your battery over night it has to be a kind of bigger draw. A dome light would not let your car start possibly - but typically you would still have lights (dim at that).

Suspension wise it only had the DA knnucles and lowered a bit

For the draw I did noticed I still have power to light up lights and other things but not to start up I also notice my clock goes dim when I turn on my healights too

Your clock is supposed to dim when you turn the lights on.
