i had an 8 plug head on one of my s12s. Mine was replaced by nissan in the late 80;s Its probably all they could get in on order. As previously said. It was done for emmissions in other countries.
The reliant engines may of had them as std as well????



Its not a ca20. Its just an immigrant ca18et

So is it better to run it on all 8 plugs or can I do it with just the 4 and be ok?

all export scimitars had them, but because reliant kept going bust often the UK cars got them too if theyd run out of 4 sparkers lol. when the finally went bust properley, one of the dealers bought all the crated engines and boxes in the bankruptcy sale, some were 4 and some were 8 plug. i bought a couple 'back in the day' one of which wasa twin spark motor. no difference in power, just to try and clean up the ETs ropey missions
