Hey everyone and thanks for the future help

Got an Ek 1998 and swaped an B16A2 with ( p28 ecu ) , used the 98 wiring harness + ecu jumper harness OBD2A to OBD1 , car cranks but no spark , I wired the Dizzy color coded but I feel like I am missing something and don't know where to go ...... I wanna see it running :( need some help from u guys !!
 
To recap:
You swapped a b16a2 into your 98 EK
You used the existing harness
You used a jumper to go from OBD2a to OBD1 for the P28 ECU
You repinned the distributor for the new ECU
Car doesn't get spark

Do the injectors fire?
Have you traced the distributor wires all the way back to the ECU?
 
Rewire the distributor.....I thought that was unnecessary for a B series in an EK. Straight plug and go. Only wiring is a knock (if not deleted in chip) and VTEC (if it's not an EX).
 
To recap:
You swapped a b16a2 into your 98 EK ( EXACT )
You used the existing harness ( YES )
You used a jumper to go from OBD2a to OBD1 for the P28 ECU ( YES )
You repinned the distributor for the new ECU ( I CUT THE WIRES AND PIN OBD2 TO OBD2B ( BIG PLUG TO SMALL PLUG ) ?????
Car doesn't get spark ( NOPE )

Do the injectors fire? ( I CHECK TO NIGHT ?)
Have you traced the distributor wires all the way back to the ECU?
( NO )
