V8 distributor. When you cut power to the coil, you need to give that energy somewhere to go.
I've seen them where the four extraneous plugs were threaded into the bellhousing, too.

I've always liked these. Any more details on this particular setup?
Obligatory, and cool:

Why? If the distributor has no wires, how will the distributor know it is not a I4? The rotor will hit the terminal, nothing will happen, and it will move on.
In reply to tuna55:
You're still going to have a giant spark coming through the rotor and cap post because the points will still open at the false plug positions (I guess you could grind them off). At least if you ground them you wont be blowing your ignition system with a big back spark between every real spark plug event.

Because that crap is really hard on the coil.
