Hey everyone, just a quick couple of questions. I'm in the process of
putting my car back together after a paint job. Its taking a lot longer to
put stuff together then to take it apart. I was working on the boot light
last night thinking that it wasn't working because it never came on when the
lid was raised. I checked the wiring and all seemed fine. I turned the park
lights on and noticed the boot light works fine. My question is, does the
boot light only work when the park lights are turned on? I would have
thought that it should work whenever the lid is raised.
I got a Haynes manual and it shows that it should work whenever the lid is
raised as far as I can read the diagram.

Also the plate on my car shows the build date as January 1975 but the engine
compartment shows no emission controls of a 75, and is identical to a 74
donor car I have. Is there a registrar of serial number and engine numbers
to find out if the engine has been replaced. Or could it be possible that
the car is an original 75 built to 74 specs. 
thanks for the help
