Actually had me thinking..If he hooked the Leading Spark plug Wire On the Trailing Plug in the Rotor Housing with the Broken plug..Would it work?..(omitting the Trailing Wire on the Bad Housing)

Speaking from no practical experience with this particular situation, but I HIGHLY doubt it.

Problem with this solution is that the trailing plug (with leading plug wire attached) would be firing just after the apex seal was passing the dead leading plug but before it had reached the trailing plug, wouldn't it? In other words, the timing would be hopelessly off.

That's like putting a second hand-grenade in your engine bay; the first being a rotary engine!

i'm just thinking about this... what if you hooked up the leading wires to the trailing plugs (runnning on only 2 plugs, just the trailing) then rotated the CAS to advance the timing? I'm not saying the car would run well, but if you were really careful with it, would it move decently?

DO NOT HOOK A LEADING WIRE TO A TRAILING PLUG!!! The leadings fire a wasted spark, hooking up a leading wire to a trailing plug will cause detonation. Not to mention it won't help any either!!
