The motor runs on the front rotor well enough. The back rotor periodically will fire, but generally does nothing.

you are correct, it was the ignition...Though I do not know the root casue yet.
I am using a GM style MSD 2 tower coil for leading plugs on a waste spark setup (not using trailing at the moment). I loosened my rear plug wire on the coil without fully pulling it out and the back rotor came online. The wires and coil were purchased (new) about a year ago, and have not seen much action as the car has been dormant while being worked on. I thought I might have some sort of build up on the contacts so I put some of that dielectric silocone grease in all the end caps on the plug wires. This seemed to do the trick for a while, but I am still having intermitant operation. Sometimes the engine will still run on one rotor, but sometimes its the front, and other times the back, other times it runs on both rotors. I was also having some issues with my dry sump oil system backing up and 5hiting oil into my chambers (very dangerous I know), and we continue to have fuel mixture issues since our ECU has not been fully configured yet. I think we will be able to fix all these issues with a little time though, so hopefully the thing will be running decently in a couple weeks.
Thanks for the help farberio.
