49 body swap on 90 idi

I'm in the process of doing a body swap with a 49 f4 on a 90 f350 idi 5 speed. I already have the cab mounted front nose slave and master so now I'm trying to figure out the easiest way to wire it to get it up and running

welcome to FTE.
wiring is pretty simple, power to glow plug circuit, power to fuel shutoff switch.
and if you want to get fancy, power to the cold idle/timing advance sensor.
