It will work if you hack one of the mounting legs off. Unmodified and it won't fit properly.

You have to hack off two mounting legs. I know cause I have one. I have it totally advanced and can only get 14 degrees BTDC. So this only a temporary fix till I can have my B16 distributor rebuilt. The 90-91 LS internals are the same and work for overhauling the B16 distributor. http://www.moto-parts.com/dist.htm is a good/cheap place to have them rebuilt.

that's correct, it will only work as a quick fix. get it overhauled, or get a used one. those are your only choices!

or you can take the 91 teg dizzy internals and transfer it to the B16 housing...just be careful with the bolts because they're tight as f(*Uck or you'll strip em. Did it one night and it worked fine.
