99 Civic D16Y7 auto-manual swap - Where do the plugs go?
[Resolved]
Hello. I am following this great guide and I'm nearing completion.

However, I've hit a wall. My 99 civic has the D16y7 and I'm swapping out the automatic for a manual that is also a D16y7 manual transmission.
Here's where I'm stuck. When I pulled my engine/auto together, I took off the distributor. I took pictures of it to remind myself where the plugs go. Anyway today when I go to put it back on and it doesn't fit the way I have it in the picture. But it does fit if I rotate the distributor teeth (for lack of better words). I have never replaced a distributor before and the youtube video I looked at said the scoring on the circle part of the distributor (the teeth) should line up when attaching the distributor to the engine. Should I be concerned?
Also, I am using my harness and ECU that came with my automatic transmission. I am worried I might be plugging some of the connector in wrong. My automatic had more connectors than this D16y7, so I'm not sure which ones go where.
Thanks for your help in advance.
