Great to hear you got both coils firing.  I presume you found the problem.

Hi,
I can second Ed's logic.  It has worked for me so far, but not very well...:-)
 
That does not mean you can't get into the air with the short stacks (I did), but I found longer smaller diameter runners boosted my power considerably at the rpms I operated at.  However, at times, physical and other constraints may dictate short stacks in which case, I wouldn't hesitate to use shorter stacks - it will get you into the air and flying.
 
FWIW  I don't sell manifolds, I just play with them {:>)
Maybe we can convince you to turn your engine over 90* and then make/sell an Eddie manifold for the rest of us...
 
Regards,
Tommy James<><( back in the air  with both coils firing....it is really amazing!)
