It depends, if you are going the hot fusion CW route you ground pin 42 but if you are working with the boys in Utah on the cold fusion extraction you put a 15 ohm resistor on pin 42 and the flux capacitor is wired in parallel to pin 3 7 and 9. I am so glad to finally see some other people try this conversion. I have had mine in for 11 months now and have been very satisfied. YMMV of course. Especially if you use dueterium instead of tritium.

Cheers, Mark

I'll be containing the 100,000 degree plasma in a coffee-can sized magnetic-confinement tokamak I built in our garage. Apparently, I'll need the bellhousing from a diesel to do the conversion. I think it was on a listmember's site that I remember reading that the digijet ECU will manage the reactor if I ground pin 42. >>
