If you re-wire it, the plug's are different. Also, if you convert your ecu wiring harness to obd-2 which would be pointless and don't think they have such a conversion. But just get an obd-1 dizzy. What exactly are you trying to do?

Not if you are using an obd1 ecu.

The answer is YES if...your OBD2 dizzy has all three sensors inside the distributor vs the ITR's with the crank angle sensor next to the crank pulley...and if you convert the OBD2 grey connector to a OBD1 connectors.

That's it! The coils are the same. the ICM's are the same. The crank angle, the cylinder position, and TDC sensors are all the same as are the teeth count on the sensor pickups.
