ignition coils

i've searched around a lot and have found info on all the different types of the genIII coils, I have a full set of LS1 coils that are the round ones. will they work definately on a truck harness? the harness is a 2002 from a silverado. I just want to know if someone has tried it and it works, I dont see why they would be much different... Iguess I could go try one on my truck later if no one has a response. btw the harness is going into a sandrail, so I cant really test the harness with the coil since I dont have it hooked up yet.

thanks,

jake

acourding to everything ive read the one (round i think, dont have the book in front of me) type of truck coils are the best type.. so i think the coils are interchangable.. not sure though.

yeah I just found that out the hard way lol. is there any way to convert the coil harness to be used with the ls1's?
