That silver Deuce belongs to a friend in Calgary and the picture is 15 years old.

The Dueces MAY be different..not sure why cause the engine was a CTB Camaro Z28 engine when it was built up at Flint, but the Z28's factory fitted plugs only had one ring:

They may have changed through the year.

There is a set here:

I HAVE NO IDEA IF THESE ARE WHAT THE SELLER SAYS THEY ARE! I DON'T KNOW THE SELLER AND HAVE NEVER PURCHASED ANYTHING FROM THEM. CAVEAT EMPTOR

Here's the R44 plug with the four thin green bars. I got a couple sets of these from the classifieds here and they pop up from time to time through members. The R44 is a hotter plug and works great in solid lifter motors if you're looking for other options. I've seen a few sets of these on eBay from time to time as well.
