You'll need two of em, but that will work.

People recommend the high vibration ones thou.

OKAY i bought the coil and read the instructions... it says it needs a .8 OHM resistor.... anyone know anything in this regard?>?? do i need the resistor in there??? plus this is a model 8202 which it says should be mounted Vertically... i guess cuz it doesnt have the epoxy(anti-vibration) coating... is it gonna affect it if i mount it inside the stock coil positioning(horizontal)?

Where does it say to wire the resistor in?

As for mounting it horizontally... it might be okay... I doubt it, but then again we do a ton of things that seem to defy factory specs :P
