so i have a 98 civic hatch, i have the stock harness, im building a mini-me..
i bought a y8 head for the y7 block i have, so i did that swap, the guy i got the head off said that the distributer was obd2. which is what i thought i needed. so i swapped the heads and such i got to looking at the plugs for stuff because i never did a swap before, so i started matching some up and i do have most tagged, when i looked at the distributer plug it was different from he one on my harness ? does anyone have a link that shows what plug is which ? like pictures of the obd1 or 2 plugs. i have ran into a wall and am trying to find a way around it. Any info will help im sure. thanks

 

Why don't you just post a pic of your two plugs

 

in the works of gettin my computer fixed. im at a friends hoping i can find out what i have, i dont have pictures and like i said i cant find straight on pics on the internet.

 

i do know that the old distributor on the y7 head had 8 wires coming from the plug and the y8 distributor has 9 if that helps..







the plug on my harness

 

the distributor plug

 

any ideas of which is obd1 and whats obd2 ?

 

They're both OBD2

The first pic is an OBD2A plug ('96 - '98 Civic)

The second pic is an OBD2B plug. ('99 - '00 Civic, except Si/HX)

Y7 and Y8 distributors are identical between the same years/OBD level. If you have your old Y7 distributor simply reuse that.

 

i have the distributor off the 98 y7 .. so this will work ?!
if so, this saves me so much time.

 

Yes

 

decenttttt. thank you both
