Not good at soldering
I need to connect my fuel injector resistors properly. Does anyone have a good explanation or photos for how to solder wires to the resistors properly?

the resistors I got for my 83#'rs from Vitesse had male flat end that fits into those cheap clamp things that always pull off. So, I just soldered that whole piece together...didn't have to get to fancy with that...just heat the solder on the clamp piece and let it get wet enough to just fuse those two pieces together - much easier than a typical solder joint with wire. I'd still recommend soldering over anything that just splices those wires together. Just get a few of those and practice a bit before doing the real thing...

use small crimp on male or female spade connections with crimping tool cut bend spade 90deg for handling . crimp resistor wire into loom wire into crimp then cut spade off have small heat shine on the loom wire before hand slide it over and heat in..
