My apologies to both Winders and Nathanbs - I wrote hasty a hasty nebulous reply without appropriate explanation.
The "...not a requirement..." comment was meant to state that I don't think you need to be a professional engine builder to be taken seriously here.
Regarding the coil leaking: My '75 arrived to me with a stock Bosch coil mounted with the output terminal pointed down. It was leaking from the other end of the coil (bottom of the coil but also the highest point as it was mounted upside down) where it contacted the AC coil mounted on the engine deck lid. Vibration wore through both the AC coil and the ignition coil case. My ignition coil was leaking oil, but not from where the can got crimped around the insulator.
