yes, they are the same (type at least, the ones pictured might be a high output aftermarket style)

they are the standard GM type 2 coil pack, the only diff is the northstar V8 ignition module, that is under the coils and is what the coils mount to

 

This is really sounding like the best way to go. I have two questions that maybe someone could answer:

What is the gm part number for the ignition module off the northstars?

What plug wires would fit the coil packs? Could i use any style?

Anyone tried this setup yet? Also what years Northstar coils work for it?

I have the Delteq kit sitting in the garage awaiting my cam & heads swap that I hope to start next week. I got the Olds Aurora coil and module from a local salvage yard ready to mount for $100. You can use any plug wires you like as long as both ends are female like the spark plug end. Kit is well assembled with good directions.

 

What year was the car you got it out of. Still trying to figure out what years are compatible.

I'm 95% sure I was told 97 Aurora's.

 

Just give Delteq a call 703-476-3566 they are very helpfull and will surely know what years to look for.

 

Hi everyone...sorry I have been silent for a little while...I moved last week and I have been completely disorganized. But fear not...I am now getting back to my obsessively orderly life!

As for the questions about Northstar coilpacks, here is some useful info:

10458128 - Northstar V8 Ignition Module
19056672 - Coil for Ignition Module (4 req'd)
(these are GM part numbers)

As for the applications using these ignition modules & coils, look to 94-98 Cadillac Northstar and Olds Aurora V8 vehicles. Make sure you don't get one from a V6 Aurora because it, uh, won't work!

You can get the coils from the above mentioned applications as well. The coils are very easy to find since they are also used on 4 and 6-cylinder applications (like the late model Buick 3.8L V6 and the S-10 4-cylinder engines).

I think the last time I bought an ignition module and 4 coils new from the auto parts store, it ran about $350. The car-part website has a ton of used ones for fairly cheap.

A word to the wise: some salvage yards will call the ignition module and coils the "coilpack." This is fine, but just make sure that if you order one sight unseen that you specify that you need the 4 coils and the ignition module! There is a nice stamped aluminum bracket that came on the OEM setup as well, which can be used as the basis for a custom mounting location that is not necessarily covered by our three mounting options. If you want it, make sure you tell the salvage yards. Our "bare bones" kits come with the Delteq bracket of your choice (Radiator shroud mount of valve cover mount).

Let me know if there are any more questions!

Damn it, I passed a brand new coil and module setup on ebay because I didn't know the right year. $115 too. Oh well I'll keep my eye's peeled for some more

 

I've posted this in other threads, but here it is again: Delteq

The coils I used on my setup are MSD coils, not the standard black GM coils. I don't think they're any better than the GM ones; I just happened to have them (they were to go on my old Electromotive SDI setup which used the same coils).

I have had it installed for awhile now, and am very pleased with the results. Let me know if you have any specific questions about the system. I may not respond right away - I don't come to this board much anymore (I have turned on e-mail notification to this thread).
