LC,s use a twin point as a standard plug, loking very similar to the Omega item

They don't. OEM plugs for the LC are NGK BK6E's which are single point.

both correct. The twins are used to help with the spark as,blown engines, can blow the spark out hence two electrodes.

Huh? I don't doubt you could use a twin/quad prong in an LC.

I'm saying that the standard (OEM) plug in an LC is single electrode, and it is different to the Omega Item. Vx P/n for the LC is (was) 90393137. SO I'm quibbling with the statement "LC,s use a twin point as a standard plug, loking very similar to the Omega item" which is incorrect in several ways.

Two electrodes will make no odds as you only strike the spark across a single electrode at any one time, if the spark is blown out then it will either be to late to do anything and a missfire will occur or the spark will re-establish (and you get a partial missfire).  :y

The ONLY thing adding electrodes does is extend the total electrode life of the plug.

Would it cause confusion if I mentioned that I currently have triple electrode plugs in my 3.2? :-X

No - ordered them from one of the regular suppliers along with a cam belt kit as the price was right, and Delphi plugs with 3 electrodes duly arrived.
