Well that's not a northstar, but yes you should generally use OEM ignition parts. The reason being, with those cars, they seem to wear out lower quality plugs and wires quickly. I can't put my finger on why, but I suspect it has something to do with the high and hot spark strength. Personally, I order my parts either from RockAuto. Com or Amazon using my wife's Prime account. You can save quite a bit of money ordering online.
Also, I seem to remember that those 4.1, 4.5, and 4.9L Cadillacs very specifically call for premium gas only. These days, that means you really should only use premium gas and get it from major brand stations like BP/Amoco and Shell. Yes, it makes a huge difference in these cars because octane gas will preignite, meaning it starts burning before the spark plug fires and causes power loss.
