What OBD1 distributor bolts onto a B18A head?
I've tried a '94 LS distributor, but the mounting holes are way out of alignment with the head.
Does the 92-93 LS distributor bolt up? Any ideas?

hmm..it should fit.
You sure you correctly mounted the obd1 LS dizzy onto the B18A head? a 92-93 LS dizzy is no different than a 94-95 LS dizzyfizzy btw.
you might wanna check the cam journal between a 90-91 and 92-95 LS head and see if there's any differences in mounting.....but I'm assuming there isn't.
Assuming is bad.

The cam journals are the same between all 90-01 B18A/B LS cams. I have a 2000 B20 PR4 head on my 91 LS (using an OBD-0 dizzy) and we have a 90 B18A head on a 95 Civic, running an OBD-1 dizzy.... all have the same bolt pattern and key size. Make sure you have the correct distributor in the first place as some SOHC and DOHC non-VTEC distributors looks similar at first glance.
And Kat - Assumptions are the mother of all fuckups

umm..that should work. I think you have the wrong distributor. Same thing happened to me. Guy sent me a sohc vtec distributor saying it was for the b18 non vtec
. Finally, I went out and get me a real 95 ls distributor and went in the b18a head prefectly.

It's the same thing... just differnet plug (even has the same color wires). Just get an OBD-1 distributor and swap the plugs and you're set.

Yes, don't get rid of the OBD2 distributor, just switch the plugs
