You might run into problems if you have OBD0 and OBD1.

I think it would be easier/ cheaper to go OBD1. You already have a obd1 distributor and ecu...

since you have the wiring harness you can either do the wiring yourself or purchase a obd0 to obd1 adapter to plug into the stock wiring harness roughly $125

then all you would need is a 4 wire O2 sensor assuming you dont already have one.

so you have spent no more than 200 to go obd1

or..

you can buy a obd0 dizzy $150 used
and a obd0 ecu $150 used
then you will still need a second o2 sensor $50 new

you decide... price estimates are rough, but you can see which should be cheaper
if you go obd1 and ever feel the need to get hondata... you wont need anything else

look man i converted to obd-1 when doing my z6 and it wasnt hard at all i had to convert also to mpfi but its pretty much just replacing plugs in the engine part in the harness it was easy but i ran into problems cus i forgot to hook up two ground wires the grounds the ecu to my injectors and it would not get fuel but besides that....it was all good oh yea get a harness from blownhatch or kenji i have one from kenji it made it so much more easier look here is a link http://www.geocities.com/chipm....html
