Stock coils mounted vertically?

Can the stock coils be ran vertically? This is not in an RX, and mounting them vertically would be very helpful in arranging my engine compartment.

I understand that the basic MSD coils mounted horizontally can leak because of their design, so I don't see any reason against running the stockers upright, but I hoped to check in case.

Yes, vertical is the preffered orientation with some coil types.

Sounds good, figured it'd work well.
