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?).

My iron is a Weller, but it's the old 'gun' type. I think I could do better with something like a 'pencil' type of iron, but at this point just need the pack fixed. But I understand...it's a skill I think I could acquire, just not at the moment!

It takes a lot of watts to get the resistor hot enough for solder to stick, it's mounted in a heat sink after all. I wouldn't think a pencil would do at all for that job. Main thing is to clean really well, and make a strong mechanical connection before soldering. (Said so in the boy scout soldering manual!)
