Pin one of an ordinary SIP resistor can be considered a common "bus",
and all other pins have a particular value of resistor between
that pin and the "bus".

The ones you have should use pin 1 and the one at the other end as
two separate busses.  Each of the in-between pins should have 
a 220-ohm resistor between it and one bus, and 330 between it and
the other bus.  These are often used for TTL bus terminators -
the SIP is connected to +5V and GND.

If you can't measure either 220 or 330 between an end pin and
any inner pin, perhaps the SIP is defective or marked wrong.
