This is a Do It Your Damn-Self article for 1 obd1 to obd2 distributor conversion harness.
__________________________________________________ _________________________________
Wiring Chart ---- OBD1 OBD2 Function
orange -> dark blue CYPP
white -> white CYPG
orange/blue -> green TDCP
white/blue -> red TDCG
blue/green -> yellow CKPP
blue/yellow -> black CKPG
yellow/green -> yellow/green ICM
black/yellow -> black/yellow IGN Output
blue -> blue Tach Output
__________________________________________________ _________________________________
TOOLS NEED:
Wire-strippers/cutters
Heatshrink tubing
Wire Loom
Obd1 plug cut from an old distributor
Obd2 plug cut from engine harness
Solder & Solder Iron
__________________________________________________ _________________________________
First you need plugs and tools


Now strip all the wires on the plugs/connectors

I usually make a hook on both sides on the wires to hold them together and solder.


Then shrink wrap the wire. You can use a lighter if you don't have a heatgun

Once everything is shrinkwrapped, you should have something that looks like this.

Now wrap the wires with the wire loom, and use some black tape on the ends to hold it together. don't do a sloppy job.

yes this plugs into a obd1 harness so you can just plug in a obd2 distributor with out having to change the plugs everytime.

Never thought of this. I have always re-pinned the connectors. This is a little easier and is able to be done without a honda pin kit. Wish you would have done this writeup about 2 years ago.
which wire is the positive(if there is such a thing) on obd1 harness?
