simple electronics question
I need to wire a 470 ohm resistor into a wire for my GM alternator. Do I need to cut the wire in the middle and solder it to both ends, or can I just strip a bare spot on two areas of the wire and solder both ends to the bare spot?

OR

where resistor is parallel to the wire but touching in two places?
Thanks,
Frank

Thanks, that's what I figured, just hoping I was wrong as the integrity of the connection would have been better if I could wire them parallel. Shoulda known from my days installing stereo stuff and building subwoofers.
