So do you have any of your own Yankee Ingenuity ? If so you could fab up your own. Here look at mine for ideas. This is home made out of 6061 billet and has my ignition/key switch which is from a fork lift.Everything was drilled and tapped and has allen set screws to hold coils. But you will have to make your own set up for you application.

I have Crane HI-4 single fire race ignition on S&S 96ci. Two cylinders two coils. Ignition fires to both coils then to spark plugs. Better performance this way.
