What are the parts that don't fit from a '96? They changed the design pretty noticably during those years. Do you have the newer body style with the more rounded edges and the larger grill slots?

96 was the first year for OBDII so you have to use the 96 and newer emissions parts. Old body style but a new engine management system.

IIRC, there are 2 different rotors for the distributors in '96. Mine takes the late variety.
