v6 coils

i have three coils from a pontiac grand prix, 3.1 v6. would these work on a camaro with the 3.1 or do they not have those coil packs. are the v6's just like the v8's ignition, with one coil.

You can't use them since you have a distributor and the computer is programed to advance/retard spark and adjust timing by the distributor.

coil paks, any fwd/rwd w/the multiple coils. usually parts counter peeps ask if you have the magnavox or other coil. Magnavox is the 6-post single coil, like the gn's. coil paks are the other.
