you can not use a obd2 vtec distributor on a obd1 motor unless you repin it . the plugs on the 2 are different. theres a post tom made some where on here that showed exactly how to do it . sorry i cant find it right now.

you can use the 00 si distributer..you just need to change the plugs..all the wires are the same..compare the two and you'll figure it out..it's easy.

the solution is simple,sincehes using a 00 harness,and the distributor is 00,then its a plug and play affair,just set your distributor in the middle of each bolt that tightens it down,this is the stock setting,then grab out the timing gun and set your ignition,alot of the info is wrongon the read ,but some didnt know what harness you were using till now

obd1 has 2 plugs and obd 2 has one plug,if you harness is a obd1 harness and you use a obd2 distributor,all ya need to do is color match the wires to make the plug on the obd2 distributor have 2 plugs,as obd2 has one,am i makin sense yet,and same for using a obb2 harness just reverse what ive said..but if your parts are all obd1or are all obd2,its all plug and play.......,jdm motors and sensors,diffrent story

all honda distribotors are keyed to fit one way on the cam

All you need to do is changes the plugs. We did this on my bro's ls/vtec. The 2-wire connector will interchange easily. But the pins for the other connector will extend about 1/8" longer and will not plug in all the way once you have them swaped. Theres no cutting or soldering involved.

all honda "spark" plugs use a similiar part number if its a replacement,but if you co threw the diff temps,then they tend to vary,the knock sensor is detecting something ,in side the block,and or a malfunction,all it detects is vibrations in the block
