8AZ28, you're mostly right. However, the injectors from different years of vehicles may differ in the electrical connector used on the injector and corresponding harness as well as fuel rail feed location. Some Contours, Mustangs, F-150s, etc, use a rectangle shaped clip with a retainer along one of the long sides. The newer Contours, some '98 Taurus's, late 99+ Cougars have a smaller oval connector with two "tangs" on one side. Granted the ohm rating on the two injector styles are comparable, there would be considerable work involved to splice over an injector harness if you didn't buy the correct injectors in the first place.

The 3rd Contour type of injector is a side feed injector (V6 from '95-'97) shared only with the Ford Probe and would not fit the Zetec fuel rail. The Probes injectors are of the same rating and would provide no increase in flow for those years of tour.

That being said, I *think* the Zetecs use the rectangle connector style injectors, at least on some years. The easiest way to know is find out which electrical connector and which fuel rail feed you have (top or side feed) and go from there. The Ebayers usually provide pictures of these two locations since many injectors are used across many build platforms, even between brands.
