Simple coil question - nuts

[DonaldSmith]

The new coil came with a lock washer and nut on each post, and a small bag with an extra set of lock washers and nuts. 

Should I leave the nuts in place, add the wires and add the new washers and nuts?  Or is it OK to use just one sets of nuts? 

 

The studs look a bit short for an extra set, so I'll do what I have, lo these many years, take off the nuts and washers and use a single set. 

If the Wisdom of the Forum is different, I can always redo the connections.   Or maybe I'm starting another unresolvable debate.

one nut one washer on each post, and the wires

The extra nuts and washers are probably sent as a courtesy for the fumble-fingered such as I, who drop one or more into the irretrievable chasm below the engine.

There is a super massive black hole under my car. It sucks up fasteners at an alarming rate.

Or, just because 2 nuts are standard equipment for the majority  of old car owners

One nut is fine on each contact point on the coil.
