L-Jet Resistor Pack repair? Options

[Rob-O]

I know the L-Jet resistor packs are NLA, and while getting my parts ready for refitting the FI on the car I noticed this. I attempted to solder the wire back on to the resistor with no luck, but I'll admit, my solder gun (and solder skills) suck.

I thought when I talked to Clay awhile back he said that tesistor packs from other cars could be used but that the plug end was singular to the 914.

So is there a pack I can get, pull the wires from the plug and put into the 914 plug? Should I attempt to find someone who can solder and have them attempt to repair? Or should I just look for a used one in the classifieds?

I would ask Clay but haven't been able to get in touch with him. I thought he was going on a 914 outing this week (Talemina?).

....And resistors are just resistors! Figure out what the resistance of the stock one is, then use math (ooooh!) to figure out what power rating it needs, and get four of them at an electronics supply shop. Rat Shack is still out there, but there are local places and there is always ordering on-line.

As my old drill instructor used to say, it sounds like you just volunteered!

all kidding aside, your idea will ultimately be the way to go when the known good used units are gone. But I think the resistor/resistors on this unit are fine. No sense in reinventing the wheel fitting new resistors to the current housing or building a new housing. That sounds even more involved than just having the old unit wires soldered.

I'm just deflecting because my electrical skills are only slightly...very slightly, better than my soldering skills! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
