Your vtec is out because of having no speed. Or a corroded connector at the speed sensor. 96-00 civic get there rpm from the ecu. So youll have some wiring to do

For the tacho - jump the ICM pin to the NEP pin right at the ecu and you will have rpm.

I don't think you're going to have a proper working swap using any obd2 ecus, go obd1.

Vss should be fine wiring wise. Check the sensor or connector at the sensor.

Blue wire on dist could go to tach if you want to work hard. Like spAdam says, jump the ICM to NEP pin (on obd2 harness) right at the ecu.

Sorry heres this too https://www.ek9.org/index.php?attach...atics-gif.200/

Something doesn’t add up. What harness are you using?
