There might've been some difference in length, but otherwise, I don't see a problem. Both cars use the same ignition system, both cars use the same part # distributor cap, and there's no difference at the spark plugs, either. I say go for it! (Weird about the different part #s, though.)

Nope - just get the cheaper ones

Unless the 2.8 are 7mm, and the 3.1 are 8mm... I believe accel's part number for 8mm for the 2.8 is ACC-4021, tho...
