wiring distributor to work on h22a swap?

What's up people, I am looking for detailed information on how to get the distributor to work on my H22a using the stock harness from my f22b1. The stock harness I am using is from my 97 cl which is obd2 and the distributor I am trying to wire it too is from a JDM 93 prelude obd 1. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, this is pretty much last hump.

Why don't you just buy the harness adaptor?

because I got that, I am talking about the actual hard wiring of the distributor to get it to work.

you have to take four wires on the f22 harness(red, green, blue, white) from the crank area and move them to the dizzy. Then just use a chiltons manual to hook them to the proper spots.

LAcura I did that and now this:

Man I am at a total stand still trying to figure out why this motor won't fire up. I am running a JDM h22a with the original JDM internal coil distributor. The wire harness I used is from my F22B1 original motor with sensors and wires lengthened. The distriputor wiring was crossed refrenced and wired up to accomodate the difference in years. We know for a fact the distributor wiring is configured right. I am also using the JDM P13 ecu that came with the motor. Since my car was OBD2, i purchased a wiring harness that converts my OBD2 to an OBD. At this point, I am basically looking for some troubleshooting steps I could take to determine why the motor turns over, but I am not getting any fire to my plugs.

Advice thus far:
1. Could be the ignitor or internarl coil, may need to replace either or or both.
2. May have to convert JDM internal coil to US external coil from a 93-95 prelude.
3. Check the OBD2 to 1 Conversion harness and make sure pins/wires are in correct place.

Question:
How in the world does one hook this JDM distrutor up to work? Am I missing something?

Check your wiring, check it again, and then check it some more too. Oh and make sure you got all the grounds!!!! VERY important. There is on on the thermostat housing and one on the back of the block.

motor turns over, but no spark?

if it's not the wiring (most of the time it is), chack and see if the distributor is still in working worder.
