Default -OBD2 Engine into OBD1 Car questions on wiring.

I am very close to buying an 98 B18B1 engine to put into my 95 Honda Civic CX, but obviously one is OBD2 and the other is OBD1.

I have heard that the distributor has to be wired different and a couple of other things.

If someone can help that would be great or post some how-to links or wiring diagrams.

Oh, I did search through about 50 threads so please don't say search.

I believe if you use the stock 98 ls engine harness it should start and run and just use a 94-95 ls ecu. if you use the cx harness then you have to add the 3 wires for O2 and change out dist to OBD1 style.

I have the same delima swaping a 99 b16a2 into my eg coupe. The obd2 harness does NOT fit the chasis AT ALL! You need an obd1 harness.
