You can get 15W worth of resistors inside the coil, there
is plenty of room around the periphery.  Use three 5W
resistors wired in parallel.  I did this because it's what
I had laying around.  Part number is Dale RH-5 1Ohm
5W.  Three in parallel is 0.33 ohms 15W.  Replace
the steel mounting plate with a new one made from
aluminum, and rivet the resistors to the plate with
3/32 rivets.

BTW I weighed those ignition units today and I was shocked. Seven pounds total
for both.
