[DeTomaso] Definition of Ins. EE response

[John Bentley]

Larry,

no, they point north to eliminate the timing error associated with the rotation of the Earth.  Since the Earth rotates from West to East, if you were to race East, your combine velocity would be faster than if you raced West.  Running North eliminates and problem.

JB - of course, another load....heading towards Virgo at about 210 miles per second

<< magnetic field of the Earth and increases the output>>

John,

Do you think this is the reason drag strips always point north?

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...
