Sorry, Tools, but I did answer your main point:  find someone knowledgeable in electronics to put it together for you.  The easiest way to build this circuit would be to breadboard it.  Breadboarding requires a bit of explanation as to how it works, and that is not possible in this forum.  Explaining how to translate a schematic diagram into wiring, is also not easy on a forum.  That is why I suggest finding an electronics hobbyist/student to build it for you -- it's much more do-able.

You are a highly talented mechanic and fabricator.  You have excellent skills with which to barter.  Your biggest challenge will be to find someone local who can do it for you, in trade.  You can advertise on CL, you could visit your local Radio Shack store and ask for the name of a hobbyist who could assist you.

Otherwise, you will need to learn some basic electronics, wiring of simple circuit boards, and/or breadboards.  If Radio Shack does not have the components on hand, then it is all mail-order, and waiting.

Shiny is correct:  the HEI Module won't be running long enough to heat up, and burn out (for testing, you should only need to run it for a few seconds -- longer, and the HEI Module will heat up and burn out...).  No heatsink will be necessary.

Shiny, the 'wonder grease' is thermal grease, it transfers heat between the electronic device, and the heatsink, allowing the heat to be carried away, without damaging the electronics device.  Thermal grease is used on bikes, but only on heavy current devices (Rectifier/Regulators, and alternators), beneath their heatsinks.  It is rare, indeed, that any M/C Technician would ever need to mess with it, though.  Cheers!
