Our coil has been mounted horizontially for several years. The last location
was on top of the pedal box.
It never occurred to me that it would be a problem...and it hasnt seemed to
be.

I'm converting the TR4 back from a Crane to a Bosch old style coil. I read
somewhere that these coils should, or possibly "must", be mounted
vertically. I've also been told that it's best not to have it mounted
directly on the block where the factory put it. Based on the space
available under the hood, I'd much rather mount it horizontally above the
pedal box. I'm guessing that the reason for not mounting it horizontally
is in case it breaks open and oil leaks out.. is that it and how likely is
that to happen?
BTW, thanks again to everyone who helped me with the carb question last
week, it seems to have been taken care of by a new throttle shaft and
(lots) of tweaking of mixture, timing and balance by someone who knows what
he's doing (not me).
Thanks,
Don
