a 95 integra ls is obd1, 96 and newer is obd2. If the integra one will bolt up to the b16 head it should work.

Use the correct distributor for the correct computer. If computer is obd1, use the obd1 distributor and vice versa.

I think you'll have to use the LS distributor, and chop off one of it's mounting points to bolt it up to the B16A head.

Buy a OBD1 vtec dist., you will never get the timing(exactly) correct...if you plan on forced induction this could be a big deal.

yes i was told recently that all you have to do is rewire the pins on an OBD2 dist. so it'll work with an OBD1 harness and ECU. i haven't tried this yet to see, but i'm sure it's true.

check it out and just rewire the plugs, the you can use the newer dist. you have and not buy an OBD1 which can cost a bunch depending on the year/condition.

if you are using the 95 integra harness, then you can use the 95 distributor, you
just have to modify the dist slightly to fit the head.

you need the dist that matches the harness you are using, either 92-95 or 96+

if i used an 96 wire harness, does that mean i become obd2?
can i use the 96 wire harness, 96 distributer, but use an obd1 ecu?

yes. the wires are the same colors just moved into different spots on the plugs. simple match the distributor wires up to the harness wires.....just match colors

You have another option: if you are mechanically inclined you can swap the guts out of your OBD1 LS distibutor into your OBD2 B16 distributor. That's what I did.
