There are two coils on the trailing, but there is only one on a 1st gen as it uses the distributer.

You need to wire a trailing coil like a 1st gen.

You should post this in the 1st gen section if you need help wiring up a coil and ignitor for the trailings.

so what... you are running a first gen (and not even a modern) ignition and fuel system.

Nothing even near a modern crank angle sensor and multiple ignitor and coil set up.

are you using a distributer?? Or a crank angle sensor for ignition timing and spark triggering.

I seem to recall you were using a MSD 6A in one of the other threads you started, which is a CDI system. It is simply a coil amplifier, and not any sort of ignition controller or timing controller
