As in understand it, pretty the entire top half the the engine distrib included is the same as the b18b engine(minus the intake mani). meaning your LS distrib should work fine. You've probably looking at a difference between obd1 vs obd2 or between the 2 obd2. obd2 and obd2a (I think, been awhile)
I ran into the same issue with mine. But i'm using a GSR distributor. In my case the GSR distrib i got turned out to be bad, and I ended up using the internals from my stock b20, the whole thing was a major PITA.
There are a ton of diagrams on this site for rewiring it to fit with your plugs.
