After looking at the diagram

I'd say a normal coil would work.
Negative to distributor and the other two wires on the positive.
Make sure you use a coil designed for use with a ballast resistor.

Maybe you misdiagnosed the problem then and it isn't the coil?

have you tried posting this in the auto electric section of this forum. Might have more luck getting an answer from an auto electrician rather than just hoping as its Suzuki a Suzuki person will know.

My 1.3 sierra had a similar problem.
Turned out to be the distributor, maybe you should check that out?
