I just built mine a few days ago. I recommend wiring it up with two four wire plugs, one male and one female, so you will not have to splice into your engine harness.

AFAIK, radio shack doesn't sell 'em all. Somewhere like digikey does, though.

A few things like the cermet trimmer, and the dual op-amp cannot be purchased through Shady-O-Rack. You must buy them through a company like (for example) Digikey. If you're going to buy any components through Digikey, et. al., then you might as well buy them all.

*sigh* Seriously, man - if you couldn't even comprehend my previous post, don't try to build your own FCD. Just pay someone else to do it for you.

I had no experience with soldering on boards and it's not rocket science. It takes some time to properly layout the components.
