I just bit the bullet and went to the local NAPA store. I was asked about the length of the wires, which I didn't know, so I asked for the longer one. I had the same problem with the front, and ended up with a coil of extra, 'cause I needed the short. I paid double buying it locally, figuring I could return it if it's wrong, rather that sitting for weeks waiting for another. My '96 is an earlier one, so I'm hoping it's right. My son has a very late '96, the 'Classic' model, which, electrically, is mostly '97, underneath and under the hood, and it's a real pain to obtain some parts for. His was made well after the change-over to the '97 would have occured, as they were trying to use up the remaining old parts.
I took my '96 in to a dealer for the recall back in 2010, to check the cat and re-flash the computer. A week later the cat was rattling, and a series of events started which led to me replacing the TPS five times over the next year. In the last few weeks, the innards in the cat have completely broken, and it sounds horrible, and threw a code for the rear O2 sensor, which will not clear. I have a new Walker cat, and a new Walkes Dyna Max cat-back exhaust, but with the crappy weather, I'm hoping to do it all in one day in the garage, if I can get all the slop under the Jeep to clear off. It couldn't have happened in June.....
