The concept behind twin plugs is not to achieve multiple sparks, but to
avoid misfires (odds are one of the two will fire).
<<<Snip>>>

It may also be used to decrease engine pre-ignition or knock in large bore 4 
bangers.  My Datsun pickup 2.4 L SOHV Hemi has dual plugs one on each
side of the cylinder.  Each set has it's own coil but there's only one 
distributer.
