My project is a 1956 Chevy 3100 with a 235 and a 12v generator. 2 questions (1) how many watts or amps does the deluxe heater blower use while running and (2)how many watts or amps does the windshield wipers use while running? I have looked in the factory build manual and the shop manual and found nothing? It only lists it as an option with dashed lines on the diagrams.

I am doing a load calculation so I may size an alternator with all the accessories that I will add in a future date. I am building my own wiring harness and adding a fuse block with modern fuses. I understand ohm's laws but I just can not find the amps or watts of those two items. I just need the running amps so I get the proper alternator with out too much over kill.

thanks a bunch again
