Ignition Coil Overheating

It's a stretch, but make sure the two posts are located in a downward position so both fields are bathed in oil.

Did you replace the coil? If not it's quite possible it's bad.

If I may,the coil location,is it that important that the org coil be mounted on its side.Mine is straight up mounted on the firewall,just figured that on the intake it would get to hot.:???: I have no problems as yet but we are going on a trip next week short drive 80 miles non stop.What you think.
