Six? Wouldn't that have been a V-8?

No, that'd be a V6. In general you have one lead going to one plug, and one plug per cylinder to create the spark which causes the fuel mixture to ingnight which forces the piston down which... and so on.

I've never heard of an engine sharing plug leads or plugs between cylinders since you want the best quality spark you can get to ensure the most efficent burning of fuel

back on topic, I bet the pall-barers loved carrying that thing!
