I'm not really a hardware man, more a dyed-in-the-wool real-time
assembler programmer, but I would imagine that paralleled plugs and
leads on a single coil would result in the plug with the least
resistance path to earth getting the whole discharge and the second
plug seeing nothing ..... i.e. only one plug would fire.

For a source of double ended coils, we recommend the Ford double
coil-packs used on the latest Zetac engined cars to our customers.
Cheap and reliable, or so we've found ..... only difficulty seems
to be in getting hold of the connector.
