There are a several loads in close physical proximity to coil + that are only normally energized from IGN on the starter key switch. Coil, E.I., fuel pump, alternator excite.

I actually installed a small terminal block next to my coil yesterday for exactly this reason. Too many terminals to hang off the coil+ !

Undoubtedly you can get away with that but you should know the potential for voltage variations is greater than if you had separate circuits. The question then becomes: what is the problem with voltage variations at coil +?
