Took care of all of it a few weeks ago when I pulled the motor but extra work that I had not planned.

Good luck with the new car. Anxious to see photos.
Thanks for the encouragement. I stopped by where the car is on my way home from work with a charged battery. I was surprised (and heartened) to see that everything electrical I could check without the car running, works! All lights I/O, turn signals, wipers, even the Am/Fm radio! I'll try to get the photos transferred from my camera tomorrow.
