    so i guess ur wanting to put a 2 plug dizzy (obd1) and your harness has the single plug dizzy(obd2), correct....
    its possible you just have to wire it up or you can also do it by swapping the dizzy guts(sensors and wires) over

    Get a obd 1 Gsr engine harness and make your life simple.And then a obd 1 Distrubtor will plug right up. Also EG has a D series motor so vtec noid is diffrent , i belive.

    Your wasting money.. The engine harness is wired for vtec, and if its an EX well it's plug and play.. Remove the vtec controller and wire it back to the ECU.. If it's a DX then you just need to add the wires for vtec from the ecu plug to shock tower.. This is so simple, why people hack up a harness is beyond me.
