Surely an ancient practical joke? |

Horizontally-opposed plugs. For horizontally-opposed engines like 2CV, Boxter, VW etc.. _________________ Mike - MVPeters at comcast.net

Look at those plugs again. There is no provision for HT lead.
There are double ended coils for the engines that you mention but not double ended plugs.
It's just a wind up... |

As a long-time owner of a 2CV I can very much say with authority that normal spark plugs are fitted to the engine. The coil is a double-ended unit, with each end powering each of the two plugs. _________________ 1989 2CV

I presume it works on the 'wasted spark' principle? |
