It would be nice to know what kind of oil is in a coil. I know it has a distinctive smell but I can’t put my finger on it.
Finding a 270 Ignition Coil is like Finding a Hen Tooth

The old stuff has PCB's in it. Not sold anymore. I've used Zoeller in transformers before:
Vegetable cooking oil works too. Best is a synthetic POE oil but expensive.
FYI... The Parts Place coil is close but not 100% which is no surprise from them. It doesn't look like the advertised photos....it's missing the 'dash' between the B and R, as well as the square collars under the nuts. The coil shown their ad is not what you're going to get. I haven't compared it to my 270 B-R coil yet, but I assume it's the correct physical size at least.

I wonder what voltage the aftermarket coil produces compared to the factory 270 coil. I’ll bet it doesn’t meet the original’s. The aftermarket should not compete if they can’t produce the original part no matter what it is. Paying $200 USD for something not right would burn me up.

Exactly! That part isn’t even close to looking correct and definitely doesn’t match the website pic of it. they probably found a cheaper supplier so they could pocket more money and the customer ends up with an inferior product. They probably paid $10 for it.
