if you are still using a OBD0 ecu you cannot use a OBD1 distrubutor on the vehicle. it wont run right unless you change the ECU over to a obd1 ecu.

I used the OBD1 distributor connector (body side) and repinned all the OBD0 wires into the OBD1 connector. Worked fine!

what you need to do is get a plug that will match the one on your distributor, then pull the pins out of you obd0 engine harness and plug them into the obd1 engine harness plug. just put the pins in so they matched in color on both sides. there are two white wires on the obd0 harness, you take the bigger of the two white wires and that one matches to the green and yellow wire on the obd1 distributor, and those should be the only wires that don't match by color. i hope that helps.
