Default Wiring help

So i bought a 92 dx for my new daily. Needed a motor so i got a D16Y8 cheap from a friend. I used the DX harness and i'm running the Y8 ecu with the jumper harness. I got the motor in and i know there is a way to wire the Y8 distributor without buying the jumper harness, but I cant seem to find a legit answer by using the search engine. Can anyone help me out?

Use the DX distributor and if you can help it don't use the P2P. Get a P28 and use it as it or get a rom burnt for it that has the Y8 maps

The only reason i used the p2p is because i was trying to stay cheap just for a daily. Will that really be a big issue? I used my old dizzy and it runs but it has a miss to it. Do you have to switch out the intake manifold and throttle body?

Do you have any check engine lights? The reason I said stay OBD1 is that you will have to wire in the 2nd O2 and the CFK sensor by the crank pulley if you convert to OBD2. The distributor should work the same they are basically the same minus the plugs.
