I recently finished building this engine. This will be going in a 1957 VW. I decided from the beginning that I wanted a distributor-less ignition. On initial stat up, the engine failed to start

After a night of sleep, I double checked everything and found that I had the coil wires on the wrong banks. I had the A wires on the B side and B wires on the A side, of the EDIS coil pack

Anyway, I had a feeling that it would start, so I set up the camera. Here is the initial start up. What you don't see is me jumping for joy, I tried to stay calm for the camera
