I always assumed the inverted orientation of the ignition coil also had something to do with discouraging moisture from gathering in the recessed receptacle for the high tension lead. Just a thought.

Come on chaps - any fool knows that electricity does not flow down, it floats up. Haven't you seen it escaping just before your wiring harness begins to burn? Regards Barrie Robinson barrier@bconnex.

I just don't know where you get your ideas from! Just look at a battery. The only holes are on the top and as you know batteries go flat. Thus the electricity must escape UP through the holes. Regar
