Hey all, Who says you can't mount a oil filled blaster 2 coil horizontal? Hard to believe that this is true. Is a stock coil not oil filled?
Has any body run the msd blaster 2 on the stock intake mount and how long has it worked for you any problems ?
Thanks for the help Cj.

PER MSD it depends on which part number you have.
The Blaster Coil is designed to mount in most factory canister coil mounts. MSD also offers a Chrome
Coil Bracket, PN 8213. It is recommended to mount the PN 8202 and 8223 coils in an upright position.
The High Vibration Coil, PN 8222, can be mounted in any position due to its epoxy potting compound
Key words -It is recommended -does not say you have to

Got a call from a buddy just theother day about his new coil leaking oil.... Yes OE coils are oil filled but apparently the technology to seal the coil has beed lost...

No don't mount the oil filled coil horizontal it will leak... What's BS is the fact that it isn't sealed, if they could seal a coil in the 50's there is no excuse to the low quality stuff they pawn off on us these days...

I have had the blaster 2 coil mounted horizontally on my cuda for over 10 years. No problem at all.

Mounted mine horizontally....I was driving to Vegas from LA 4 years ago...guess when it decided to start leaking, overheat and fail on me?
I was stuck in Victorville at 4am...waiting in front of Pep Boys for 4 hours waiting for them to open to buy a new coil....Don't mount it sideways...

The older MSD coils were sealed.. They have cheapened the product..

So is there a warning on the MSD package for the store display, shipping, storage, etc., ???
I have one older MSD Blaster that's been on a CHB4 intake manifold horizontal for 7 years now with no problem but as you said the older ones were not a problem.....I have a new one in the "blister" pack that's been laying on its side for five months now in the shop  ........yikes gotta run and check it out and see if the oil is leaking 
How do we know which ones might leak?
