Default Who said that?

Can't remember which, but one of the after market companies states their coils has to be mounted upright to keep oil from leaking out.
Other than some saying it here at PY, that's the only published info I've seen about it.

So to me quality of the coil will determine how it has to be mounted. Some GM cars came with the coils mounted horizontal, and upside down that's done been mentioned. Pretty much all V8 fords came with horizontal mounted coils. That's cannister type coils for points and their electronic triggered.

Anyhow (IMO), if you have a GOOD coil, you should be able to mount it however you want to.
