I heard there is a way to wire up a Obd2 distributor to work with a obd1 ecu and harness.
This is my problem, how?

 

Get the OBDI plugs for the distibutor, and buy a soldering iron, some solder, and electrical tape. I think the rest is self explanitory.

 

Just to throw this out there, you can get an OBD-1 VTEC distributor from Acura pretty cheap. the sub base assembly will cost you around $100 and I think you could switch the parts over, ie ignitor, cap and rotor. Just an idea.

 

so the wiring is the same just the plugs are different? For sure?
I didn't want to spend more money , if i could make it work.

 

I've done it before. But with a 97 Ls distributor being rewired to OBDI. Should be the same. Just check the coloring and amount of wires there are before you start cutting stuff.

 

Ya thanks,
should be the same since LS is the same harness execpt for vtec and nock sensor wires.

 

Don't even need to go that far. Just get the OBD-1 plugs (like off of your trash SOHC motor's distributor) and use a repinning tool (similar to a small-head screwdriver) and pop the pins out that way and pop them into the new plugs.... much cleaner and easier than resoldering each wire.... took us only 5-10 to do a distributor.

 

its really easy just match up all the wires and have fun.

 

Thanks guys,
I'm new here so this has been a great help, I have done some swaps before but never had to mix and match things, just the easy swaps.

 

or you could trade me distribs i need obd 2 i got obd1

 

No sorry man I'd rather just flip the wires off this one
