KA24E with 8 SPARK PLUGS??

[Beau]

I was looking at an '89 Nissan pickup truck with a 4 cylinder engine that I assume to be a KA24E, but the odd part is that it has 8 spark plugs and a distributor with 8 points on it. Anybody have some info on this?

The truck is probably an 88 with a Nap Z 24 engine........

makes more sense. Someone i know got a stanza and had 8 spark plugs. So what is it a backup spark or more or what

I think the deal is it hits the seconds spark just after the first to burn any left over fuel.
