i just bought an 87 and was surprised to find 8 plug wires comming out of the cap and it has plugs on both sides of the head? i didnt have enough time before it got dark to poke around and cant find my fsm disc. (phatg20 is down) it's definately not an 8 cylinder, i'm not that stupid, lol. anyone have any info in this?

You have a Z24i 4 cylinder engine.
2 plugs per cylinder. One is for intake firing, the other is for exhaust firing. Helps burn the fuel and exhaust so it runs cleaner.

you told me 8 hrs too late. i just did a tune up on it. one plug was seized in place, another the a$$ before me had cross threaded and left like that. it runs much better(it has 240k) but it bogs down if you floor the accelerator.

this thing needs alot of work to make it 100%, but i bought it as a parts truck for my crewfinder. in the meantime itll be my yard truck, parts chaser etc. pretty fun to finally drive a hardbody after owning 2 for 2 years, lol.
