Marketing.  The company is marketing to old timers with old time cars. 
Saying something is "electronic ignition" can make their hearts go 
pitter-patter, or so the seller hopes.

Oil workes well, but is prone to leaking out when the coil cracks. 
Something they can do.  Coil cracks, oil leaks out, coil overheats and 
fails.  Epoxy doesn't leak out when the coil cracks, so it's a little less 
likely to fail.
