Hello All,
Just purchased a B18a out of a 91 teg ls. It is missing the alternator, distributor, fuel rail, and the exhaust manifold.

I was wondering if anyone knows what parts are are interchangable, for instance, can a distributor from a 94 gsr work on this engine?

Or less detailed, for instance, will parts from a b18c work on a b18a. What years are interchangeable, for instance are b18's from 91 the same as in 97?

Are any of the parts interchangable with 88-89 tegs, like the distributor?

Thanks for any help you can offer!

-John

 

Your questions are all over the board but I'll try and address what I've been learning lately.

B18s up to 93 are OBD0. B18s from 94-95 are OBDI. B18s from 96 up are OBDII.

Here's an article on what OBD means. http://pgmfi.org/resources/FAQ/#whatisobd

The differences in years (OBD differences) create wiring problems when swapping parts. For example...a 1994 LS ECU is OBD1 and will work with a 1991 LS engine however, you need a whole lot of other parts to make it work (OBD0-OBD1 wiring harness, OBD1 distributor, etc.)

I'm still learning all this too. Hope I was somewhat helpful.
