[Shotimes] Re: 2 Cylinders Fire at once? How our coil pack works...

[Paul Nimz]

It is a half way step between a one coil system and a coil for every plug
system.  If it were on a V8 there would be 4 coils firing two plugs.  And
yes the wasted spark is going in the opposite way of the normal spark,. from
block to plug.
