Can you lay out a simple schematic of the ADIS-4 firing two separate coils?
One for the front rotor and one for the rear rotor.
I was thinking the ADIS-4 #10 pin fired one coil and the  front rotor and
the #12 pin firing the other coil for the rear rotor, I am confused by the
12 volt power supply wire, through the #8 pin, going directly to the dual
coils.
I am using a separate ADIS for the trailing plugs and all four coils that
came with the Renesis engine so I won't have a wasted spark.

A 4 cyl EDIS won't work IMHO.
It uses two waste spark coil packs to handle four spark plugs.
Using a waste spark on the trailing plugs is not allowed
so you are one coil short.

An 8 cylinder EDIS system on the other hand uses four waste spark
coil packs (four single coils) So you can use two stand alone coils
for the the trailing plugs and one waste coil pack for the leading
plugs I think but I would check it on a bench test set up before I
put it on a rotary engine. It is also possible to use four stand
alone coils with the 8 cylinder version which is what I recommend.

Which EDIS system do you have? You will also have to find
a Ford EDIS trigger wheel.
