Default 4 pin ignition coil

Installing a 1997 1.8L motor into a 1994 car. I didn't realize the newer engine has a different coil until I began hooking up the wiring harness. So I've done quite a bit of research and it looks like I just need to get the proper coils (if there's an easier option please let me know). What I haven't figured out is the best way to connect the coils into the harness. In looking on ebay I haven't been able to find 4 pin coils with the wiring. It seems like everything listed is meant for someone replacing faulty coils and already have the correct wiring and plugs.

Hoping someone may have a clean solution with off the shelf parts. Otherwise looks like I may have to do some splicing.

Why not use the 94' coil? There's quite a bit different about the sensors on the 97 (crank angle, ECT.) Just match the sensors to the wiring harness and ECM you have.
