weird issue after replacing ignition coil, electrical issue?

so this morning i replaced an ignition coil as i was getting a CEL for P0304 for a #4 cylinder misfire. i then head to work which i noticed slight hesitation going 70mph. on the drive home i experienced a couple of things. after first starting at very low speed it was hesitating a bity but stopped aafter a little while. a few miles into the highway drive the warning sound continuously rang, i looked at my dash and nothing was out of the ordinary. the sound didnt turn off until i put the turn signal on to switch lanes. when i got to my desination i noticed the low fuel light on, i had an issue with that in the past so maybe thats rearing its head again

this seems like an electrical issue since replacing a coil shouldnt do this. im just speaking from opinion. i was planning on doing a tuneup but im not sure if this will fix this or if i should put any more effort into the car. just seems like things pop up

I'll bet dollars to donuts this is NOT for a 1969 Oldsmobile.

What engine/model/year?

OK So, this must be for an Oldsmobile 88 since I had to look up some of your previous posts. Still, shouldn't have to look up specifics. Not sure what year it is. Best to state year/model/engine in each post.

You have basically the exact same issue stated in another thread. It's difficult to keep track of members issues when the same issue repeatedly appears in multiple threads. Really no need to repeat the same issue in multiple threads.
