This one is oil filled instead of epoxy, so I mounted it with the high tension wire up instead of down. Should have better luck this time. Had to make up a longer high tension wire, hard to find. Old shop in town had bulk wire.

I have considered this possibility. If some other things I need to check out don't solve it, then a new coil may be the answer. Thanks
