Mopar, I might not like the guy and think this thread was more whining than anything but he's got you with that one. The hemi dual sparkplug deal has been around on almost all the hemis from way back in the day and now with the modern hemi... That was a pretty big fail

How far back in the day? The 426 and 348 were both eight-plug.

The modern day 5.7l V8 Hemi has 16 spark plugs...two per cylinder.

Correct. Insofar as I know, the only dual plug per cylinder Mopar Hemis is the 5.7l (introduced in 2002), the 6.1l (2005), and the 6.4l (2005)...all other previous Chyrsler Hemis ran one plug per cylinder, just like my first Hemi shown below...a 426 Chrysler Fire Power. We put a Detroit 8V-71 blower on it, and fed it with dual Holly 1000s...can anybody say "Old school"? 
Anyway, drove my truck into work again today, all seems good.

He just means he's never seen a Hemi Ram.
