Default How do you hook up those little Radio shack resistors to 450 injectors?

I thinks it is easier and and less messier to do that instead of the box, let me know?Thanks.

I like that idea ALOT better than the resistor pack! Very simple, all you do is solder a 10 watt 10 ohm (1.25 at radio shack for 4) into the yellow wire right above each injector then cover it with shrink wrap. Its clean, and takes less than 10 min. to do. Total cost is about $3.00 with shrink wrap and solder.

will these resistors be able to take all the under hood temps?

burning a resistor will take about 500+ degrees (i am guessing). if the wires under your hood can handle the temp the resistors can.

If you are worried about the heat, do what I did. I got a little project box and put the resistors in there and ran wires out the sides. Then I got a couple of tubes of high heat epoxy and pretty much encapsuled the entire thing. Have been runnin like that for a couple months without a problem. Just make sure you get the 10 watt resistors and you will be in good shape.

There is no reason to do this though. Just put some shrink wrap over it and call it good. The temp. doesn't get to extrem right there any ways.

the best thing about a resistor box is that you can install one inline with a plug setup and uninstall it if you ever change your setup back to saturated
