5.4L Coil Connector Replacement Question

I bought a replacement Napa coil connector (p/n EC259) due to a broken locking tab for my 1997 F150 5.4L motor, and rather then splicing the wires I would like to remove the original pins from the connector and install them in the Napa connector.
My question is, does anyone know if the original pins will fit in the Napa connector?

A YouTube video on a much newer F150 said the pins weren't compatible, anyone with firsthand knowledge of the compatibility of a 1997 5.4?. I don't want to take a chance of disassembling and potentially damaging the Napa connector if the pins won't fit.

if the connectors are the same, the pins probably are as well. do you have a pin removal tool?

not sure about NAPPA plug.....but there are only about 5000 different terminals and 5000 different STYLES of connectors. As a Tool & Die & Mold maker i use to manufacture many of these....
I would suggest
