Back in November of 2003 I was trying to talk
Tracy into something like this. It would be a 37 pin D submin
male connector with a PC board attached and large type terminal strips so all
one had to do was bare the wire, stick it in the hole and tighten the
screw. Much easier to wire, check  and trouble shoot than soldering 37 tiny
wires on to 37 tiny sockets on the back of a D submin connector.
No soldering skills needed. The rest of the connections
could be crimp type. People size wire like is used for wiring cars
16 or 18 gage instead of tiny 22 gage.

Mark, perhaps you can have some of these PC boards made. Here is the
PC layout I did way back when.

BTW I am going to layout your wiring on a large flat surface and
see if there is something mis wired to cause the injectors
to be on all the time and the plugs not to fire.
At first I thought the connector was wired backwards which is
a common mistake. Now I don't think so. I just think one or two wires
are wrong.

Since I am now rewiring most of it I just thought of another
advantage to a secondary PC board. Wires going to the coils
for one example can be grouped into adjacent screw type connectors
further removing the confusion. Another grouping would be injector wires.
Should make wiring this computer ten times easier.
