b16a swap - 94 sol

swapping the JDM b16a for the d16z6 in my sol, and been doing quite a bit of research prepping and buying all i need to get started. I already have the complete swap essentials, but I read on a swap guide and it said this: "The B16A won't work on the 92-up vehicles unless you find a compatible grey plug ecu, distributor, and a hydraulic to cable adapter for the transmission." this might be painfully obvious to some of you, or maybe its totally wrong....just wanting some light shed on it by you guys who know this ****. thanks

Sounds like he has an obd0 b16a. Your del sol is obdI. They are not compatible without a lot of hassle.

yes you'll have to do an obd0 to obd1 conversion. not sure, but maybe a hydro to cable transmission conversion also.
