      RW> If your Dodge had the Hemi V8 engine, it would have a dual coil over with       RW> dual wires, one to a plug in the cylinder under it, the other to a plug       RW> in       RW> the opposite bank. Yes, they have two plugs per cylinder. One coil fires       RW> when the cylinder is near tdc, while an opposite coil will fire the 2nd       RW> plug when that cylinder is on an exhaust stroke. All in the name of       RW> emissions control. Someone told me a hundred years ago that the Chrysler       RW> hemispherical combustion chamber was inefficient and I guess this proves       RW> it.              Our Durango has a 4.7 V8, non-Hemi.              I didn't know that the Hemi engines had two spark plugs per cylinder. I do       know that when you eventually change the plugs, they typically replace the       coils at the same time. Can be a bit on the expensive side..              - Mark              --- WWIVToss v.1.50         * Origin: http://www.weather-station.org * Bel Air, MD -USA (1:261/1304.0)    |
