[DeTomaso] Definition of Ins. EE response

[John Bentley]

that's true in the old days when the coils were oil cooled and not sealed very well.  I have not heard of that being a problem for a long time.

I thought as much.  On one of the "other" forums they were discussing how some sort of fluid inside the coil could leak out or something.

yes, when you mount the coil vertically, the energy in the coil combines with the magnetic field of the Earth and increases the output energy by about 15%.  This typically means about another 8-12 HP, so I think its worth it.

JB - just kidding, it actually makes no difference.  Mount it anywhere you want.

Dunno.   The OEM coil location on the Mustang was mounted horizontally in a 
bracket bolted to the top of the intake manifold.

But I have heard lots of "they say" talk that vertically is better.   So 
all mine are mounted vertically...
