I've seen coils filled with tar that don't mind being upside down.

The coil in my tudor is not an original coil, as it has the separate bracket, but it has been on the firewall pointed down since I bought it in 1975.

Studebaker used oil filled coil upside down for many years with no problems.

I installed a off the shelf coil from local Canadian Tire , on a 340 dodge demon, coil is bolted on its side onto intake manifold, 15 years later it stills works fine...
