So I can get the resistor at Radio Shack I know that. But what about a diagram or scematic for people that are gonna fab this up in their garage? What size wire did you use? looks like 18-20?

I think it was 16 or 18 ga, the blue green wire is the one you add it too. I noticed a fuel mileage drop but like frenchy I cant stay off the trottle, never could have.
