Can I mount the coil horizontally?
I've replaced the stock coil with a MSD2 Blaster and I'd like to mount it horizontally. Does it matter if the coil is right-side up, horizontal or even upside down?

I've heard what REDVETTE just said. My MSD Baster II is mounted on the fire wall at a 45 degree upside down. It's never burned up in 10+ years. It was the best I could mount it with available space and the length of the coil wire.

To close out this thread - additional research indicates MSD recommends the coil be vertical and I found a way to mount it that way. There is a "High Vibration" coil that doesn't use oil for cooling, and it can be mounted in any orientation.
