Yes. If you are using a stock ignition system, then the coil needs an external resistor. Without the resistor, the coil will overheat.
If a replacement coil was used, it could have a built-in resistor, which would not require the use of an external resistor.

Not to mention overheating the wire from the ignition switch to the coil. I found lengths of this wire in the wire bundle where up to a foot of insulation had melted in several places. There were stretches of bare copper exposed in multiple locations.
