Old coils were filled with pcb’s lilke a PG&E transformer not oil, shake one and see,
When they banned the use of pcb’s they went to oil. The oil filled are meant to go straight up not down and not on their side.

I’m just saying to try it and see if it works better.

There are instructions with the MSD coil that say stand it straight up or use one of their epoxy filled coils. Had the problem on my truck and went to they epoxy coil. No more problems.
