Well, I honestly haven't tried it on a six pot (only on a 4), I could well
be wrong about the 6.  But I do wish someone would explain to me how an
engine could run with the plugs firing only when the valves are open.  In
fact some engines fire two plugs at once, as a spark on the opposing
cylinder has no effect at all.
