alternative engines, now Hemi

[Todd....!!]

Hi Gary,

Thanks for the clarification about the dual plug setup on the hemi being
more efficient than the single plug version...

Hence, why I stated 'plug(s)'....

Makes ya wonder why they don't just use the piston as the electrode and
the head as the ground or vice versus and omit the spark plug all
together due to not having a need for em anymore!

The block and/or pistons can be electrically isolated from the heads
fairly wasily with nonconductive head gaskets, etc...

Kinda makes ya wonder, ey?

Later!

Todd....!!
