Help me find the Ignition Coil

[MyDogDuster]

I can't seem to find where the ignition coil is in my engine compartment. I just bought the vehicle and I'm trying to locate the coil. It seems that the distributor is way in back of the engine, or am I seeing things? Thanks for the help.

what year is your cavilier. and does it have a 4 cylinder or 6 cylinder? if so... what size is the engine? 2.0L 2.2L 2.4L 2.8L or 3.1L?

If its a 2.2 early 90's model it has the coilpack below the intake on the back side of the engine. But the easiest way is to follow the plug wires (unless you have a distributor in wich case you follow the coil wire from the cap).
