HH56: Yes, the power windows work with the key off, as does the power seat, and the TL system with a manual 3-way switch that PO installed.

I have not spent much time looking into the TL system except to replace the brake switch with the 3-prong cross reference from this site.

I think I would like to find a 55-56 wiper motor so I can use the washer feature. I'll put that on my list...

My first efforts are to get the engine runnings smoothly and brakes so that I can drive it around more.

I have lots more questions about the car, but probably off topic from the original post so I'll start some new ones. I'll stick with the existing Carter carb for now; don't see a reason to change it but maybe adjust it best I can and eventually rebuild it (once I figure out what version of WCFB it is) after I
Also need to get Autolite generator working with Delco regulator, replace oil and temp senders (no gauge indication), then dig into this TL thing and see what is what......

thank you.
