The OBD0 distributor was crap, so I took my original distributor off my B18 and had to cut off a leg so it would bold up, because the pattern was different. Then I just put wired the plugs back to how they were on my OBD1 harness and it runs just fine. So yeah... you can interchange the distrubutor but you will have to cut a leg off and depending on what plugs are on your harness you might have to do some rewiring.

The B18 you speak of was a B18A or B18B right? The reason you had to cut the leg was vtec and non vtec distributors have different bolt patterns, but the B16A and B18C distributors are the same with respect to bolting on, just the wiring from the different OBD gens. is the problem.

when i said that they are diff. dist. but are interchangable none the less..then in another post agreed with you on the fact of re-pinning ...you just dont wanna back down and face that fact that even tho it may have come out wrong or what not that I too know what im talking about..now its just a pissing contest that im gonna let you win ..im done with this thread

I didn't know that the B16A and B18C distributors have the same bolt pattern. I didn't think of the VTEC silonoid.
