James or anyone else:

any real difference between the ceramic resistors and the aluminum bodied resistors other than heat dissipation being better with the aluminum bodied units???

Not that I know of, no. Resistors are basically just resistors. Ohms, tolerance, and power rating are all that matter. I suppose the Al units might be smaller for a given power rating, which would be useful in some cases.

thanks...I picked up the ceramic style at Frys for .99 cents instead of the aluminum ones at $5 each @ R and D Electronics..........I'll mount them on a heatsink I pulled out of an old Pentium workstation

now I know why I don't throw too many things away....for the resistors, I need heatsinks.....threw away a few Pentium II systems but took a few items out of the case before being tossed:

The blue one houses the 2 resistors I need for my fuel injection.........

On the topic of heat sinks, where can I get some nice panel mount type connectors? I want to use them on the firewall of my car so that I can put all the electronics inside the car and be able to just plug it in. I would like to be able to remove the ECU from the inside of the car and plug it into the engine directly when the engine is on a dyno. I would probably need to connectors, each with about 20 pins.

Where did you get it?

I really want a panel mount connector that can mount to the firewall. Kinda like the ones on the bottom of this picture.

Oh duh, brainfart, Clewett sells that 26 pin connector.

Britain, the connectors in your pic can be sourced from MoTec or EFI Technology. I haven forgotten the trade name for those connectors, but they are Mil-spec aircraft connectors..

ditched the stock relay board....had to come up with a "cheap" solution for the 14 pin and 12 pin connector (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

I ended up drilling the pins out of the relay board...

i then soldered them to female sockets from the 12pin connector and placed them in the correct socket of the 14pin connector...
