No. It would be the same amount of current, which is determined by the primary windings in the coil. If you just ran two strips from the stock distributor terminals to each plug, only one of the plugs would fire (electricity always seeks the path of least resistance, so the plug that would fire with the lest voltage would get all the spark). To fire both plugs at the same time, a second distributor would be needed, or modern coils that fire from both ends, with one coil per cylinder.
