Pink and brown connector in your last pic connects to the instrument panel fuel gauge. You should have a similar one on the other side that connects to the panel's temp gauge.

Re: 1966 Wire Install Help Needed misc connections

The round switch is the brake light switch, when the pedal moves away from it and the plunger comes out, they go on. It appears on mine that it's orange and white also, so that's probably those two spade connections. Doesn't matter what side they go on, just plug them in.

Also attached is a pic of my ignition switch, best i could get it.

I can't tell where the two "V" shaped pronged square item you took a pic of is located, if on the steering column, maybe be reverse lights?

Here are some pics of mine, and as best a shot of the ignition switch as i could get. Let me know where the square v prong thing is and i'll go look. Also, as mentioned, i know the back of 2 of the gauges look that way, you can tell because the gauge cluster has it's own harness, so wires going to it are all taped together.

First pic is orange and white also going to dome light, single plug though, nothing to do with brake lights.
