Default OBD1 or OBD2 distributor?

I'm going to be putting a 94-95 OBD1 B18C into my car w/ an OBD1 ECU. The wire harness that I'm using is 96-00 OBD Civic EX harness. What distributor do I use?

As for the legal aspect, I really don't mind. I'm going to turbo the motor.

well you will need an obd2 dizzy because of the engine harness you are using unless you want to rewire stuff in order to use an OBD1 dizzy which would be more work


and a conversion harness for the ECU
it will have to be an OBD2b to OBD1 conversion harness in order to use the OBD1 ecu
