Under dash fusebox hot while cranking?

So I asked a similar question a few weeks ago, regarding a switched 12v source, but upon further reading, not only does it need to be switched, but rather hot while cranking. Are some sources NOT hot while cranking? ...anyhow, I need a hot while cranking, switched source, and I'm wondering if the fuse box under the driver side dash fit's the bill. ....car is apart with no battery, so I can't grab the multimeter and test right now.

In the fuse block the CNL, GAGES, and TURN/BU fuses are hot in both run and cranking.
