I checked and double checked the proper order of the wires on the distributor, the one connector you mentioned is there, all plugs threaded fine into the head and were snugged down just enough.
I checked Bosch's website and they did in fact go in this car. So the guys "supposedly" sold me the right plug. They are single tipped platinum though, so were the ones I pulled out.
And yes, it's the duratec.
