I don't know about the sportcoil, but I installed the Crane chrome coil
and needed a ballast resistor. Here's the tipoff... if the coil gets so
hot you don't want to touch it after a drive about 10 miles, you need a
ballast resistor. Crane told me overheating the coil may cause it to
explode. I used the chrysler ballast resistor reccomended in the Crane
instructions, which I can look up for you if you wish.
