    any thing that is controled by ignition sw. wiper mtr. is a good one you can run a seperate feed from fuse box so long as it is only on with the ignition

    Hook up a test light to it with the key off and see if it lights up.
    If not, try it with the key on. If it works only with the key on, you're good to go.
    If its hot key on you would maybe want to use an in line fuse as you wouldn't know where the power source is coming from.

    Man ---I've been reading for two hours waiting and hoping the burn out would be long and smoky. This thread reads like a novel. I'm hoping all the bugs you get with a swap are little ones.
    I put a 350 in a 1948 International and been chaseing bugs for two weeks, so hang in there it will all come together in thr end.
