UPC 6 / B5 (V8) shows the coil mounted position as it relates to Polarity of the primary winding terminals.
Typically the Neg towards the Offset Dizzy, which commonly results in the Embossed PN facing rearward.
I would think the wording on the Judging manual should read as such, I have not studied Coils it may be the Delco construction drawing makes a positioning note as the windings are inserted and the coil shell top crimped.
