Static,
To recap, the car was running and now it is not. The car was running on obd2 dizzy and now it is not.
Need to make sure we are all clear.
If your answer is yes,

1. Do you have spark?
2.Do you have fuel?

Start on that.

Why use the OBD2 dizzy when everything else is OBD1? OBD1 cars have the crank position sensor (CPS) inside the distributor, while OBD2 cars have the CPS on the block, near the crank pulley. So unless you've frankensteined something impressive, you most likely have no CPS with this setup.
If switching distributors was the last thing you did before the car stopped starting, I'd go back to the correct d15b7 distributor. :thumb:

What's the better option out of those two? If there is a clearly better option, that is.
