This is my first 2g new to them but not to cars. I bought my 95gst as is and ran into problems trying to right all the wrongs the previous owner has done. When doin routine tune up I noticed the ngk wires I had purchased didn't fit at all on my coil pack. Upon further investigation I had the correct wires, previous owner had put the 420a coil pack on it. I would like to put oem coils back on it. I noticed by pictures that the 2g turbo's actually use 2 coils. My questions are how are they wired together and what would I half to do to correct it?
 
This is a pic of when i first bought the car. A lot of things of since been changed. It still has this coil pack on it. A mechanic told me there are a few ways to do the wires that works, but both waste a spark due to timing issues. I'm not sure.

Our cars have what's called a "waste spark" ignition system. There is only 2 coils but 4 cylinders so when cylinder 1 is firing for combustion, cylinder 4 gets a wasted spark.
