Default mpfi swap problems with wiring!!!! help!!!

I recently converted to mpfi and and altered my orginal wiring harness for the conversion. I used a 92 civic 7 pin distributor and plug instead of a crx si distributor. Im a little confused with how to wire the plug up to the stock harness. I need to know which wires get hooked up to each other. I also need to know the order of the fuel injectors. Thanks for any help.

wires at distributor - just match colors:
harness orange to distributor orange
harness thin white to distributor white
harness fat white to distributor yellow/green
harness white/blue to distributor white/blue
harness orange/blue to distributor orange/blue

injectors:
#1 closest to timing belt - brown wire
#2 next to #1 - red wire
#3 next to #2 - light blue wire
#4 closest to distributor - yellow wire

yes, you need OBD0 distributor from Civic Si or EX or from CRX Si or HF - OBD1 distributor sends different type of signal to ECU - one white wire is a little fatter than the other - if you can't tell which is which, just connect them and if it doesn't start, swap the 2 white wires - also, the white wire that connects to the yellow/green comes from ECU pins B15 and B17 - you can check for continuity on the wire from the ECU and find which is which
