Rule of thumb, match distributor to ECU. If you're ECU is OBD1 you'll need to verify if a pre-OBD distributor will even work before you swap plugs around.

OBD0 distributor won't work with OBD1/2 ECU and vice versa.

why

The ECU doesn't know that distributor. Compatibility in programing is specific. The ECU ROM is only written for very specific parts, which are all different in small or big ways.

There are some ECU systems that are designed to be programed by specialized software and interfaces, but that's a whole different and expensive process.

do you you think i can swap out the cpk?

No, crank angle trigger wheel has a different number of teeth. You'll need to find another OBD1 distributor if that is what you had before (you can use an OBD2 but you'll need a distributor adapter).
