D16y7 distributor on d16y8 motor

I’ve been reading forums with both responses of yes it will work and no it will not work so I’m just trying to figure it out if I need anything extra for it to work or is it just plug n play when I change the distributor.

I don’t think they’ll work. I have a friend currently swapping a Y8 head onto his Y7 and the mounting points are different.

I changed the distributor and it wouldn’t start after could it be something with the timing or the distributor came out defective?

Yes I timed it and made sure it was the same angle as it was before…

I ordered a TD73u distributor online and I’m hoping that’ll start the car right up. I’ll update this post if I face anymore issues!

Please update if it works as well. No point in leaving it on a cliffhanger.

I changed the distributor but while trying to cut it on I didn’t notice that a bolt of the starter was messed up. So each time I tried cutting it on it was messing up the starter overall and it broke. So I went to get a starter the next day and I put it on. Now the car just cranks doesn’t start idk if I have to change the spark plugs because they are bad or if it’s something else, at this point it’s looking like a lost cause… any help is appreciated..
