ok right now i'm in the process in replacing my ignition coil, my stok one comes with round conectors, and the one that i got comes with flat conectors, so i took it back to napa, and " no we don't accept returns on electronics/electrics ," so now i have to install this one, the new coil came with an adapter kit, but i can't figure out how to install it, for now installed it same as the stock one, i just wanna make sure that it wont affect my engine, (by misfiring) (spelling) because the colors in the wires from the adapter kit are not the same as the stock ones

I'd assume if the car is running then you installed it correctly. The three wires should be positive, negative and ground, so if they were mixed the coil wouldn't be working.

Are you replacing the coil in the 96? That was the year they switched over from round connector to flat. Sucks you got the wrong one. There was a thing I read awhile back that told you how to modify the round one to fit on the flat connector, but I forgot where. Try searching 2gnt or here.
