67 Gauge Cluster w/idiot lights wiring Help

I have searched the board the links I think I need are old and dead. I did find one diagram but it does not go into the details I need to make sure what I am doing. I have a 67 that originally look to have had no gauges just the Idiot lights this cluster was removed and Auto Meter gauges installed. These were old so I removed them and bought an Intellitronix analog gauge set, but I need to make sure what wires are for what exactly on both ends the harness to the engine bay and the ones which use to have the 12 pin connector. These are what I have that were used or not and what I think they are intended for:

Pin:1 Dark Blue = Oil pressure lamp
Pin:2 Tan = Brake Warn Lamp? (Not connected)
Pin:3 N/A
Pin:4 Tan = Fuel Gauge? (Not connected)
Pin:5: Dark Green = Temp Gauge Lamp (Not connected)
Pin:6 Black = Ground
Pin:7 Pink = Fuel Gauge Feed?
Pin:8 Brown = Generator Lamp? (This was marked and look to be for the fuel gauge that was installed? This cannot be correct right?)
Pin:9 Light Green = High Beam Lamp
Pin:10 Light Blue = LH Signal
Pin:11 Dark Blue = RH Signal (*There looks to be an extra Dark Blue wire not in use?)
Pin:12 Grey = Cluster Lamp
Pin:12 Grey = Heater Oil Lamp?
It looks like they ran separate wires from the engine bay for RPM, Water Temp & Oil pressure.
I attached a pic of the current cut harness and a pic of the added wires.

PLEASE HELP

Re: 67 Gauge Cluster w/idiot lights wiring Help

Here are some links that should be helpful:

Schematic 1
Schematic 2
Conversion from Idiot Lights to Gauges

Your list of connections looks basically correct. Here's some added info:

Pin:1 Dark Blue = Oil pressure lamp - This wire runs through the firewall bulkhead connector and then to the rear of the engine where it connects to the oil pressure switch.
Pin:2 Tan = Brake Warn Lamp? (Not connected) - This wire runs through the firewall bulkhead connector and then to the switch on the brake master cylinder distribution block. It also runs to the ignition switch so that the warning light will light up when cranking the engine to confirm the bulb is good.
Pin:3 N/A
Pin:4 Tan = Fuel Gauge? (Not connected) - This wire runs to a terminal on the back of the fuse panel labeled "FUEL GA". This terminal is where the wire from the fuel tank level sender plugs into the front of the fuse panel.
Pin:5: Dark Green = Temp Gauge Lamp (Not connected) - This wire runs through the firewall bulkhead connector and then to the engine where it is connected to a temperature switch.
Pin:6 Black = Ground - This wire clips to the metal dash structure behind the gauge cluster.
Pin:7 Pink = Fuel Gauge Feed? - This wire runs to the gauge cluster where it connects to switched 12V provided by the 3A "CLUSTR FEED" fuse.
Pin:8 Brown = Generator Lamp? (This was marked and look to be for the fuel gauge that was installed? This cannot be correct right?) - This wire runs through the firewall bulkhead connector to the alternator. It is also connected to a brown/white resistor wire at the bulkhead connector that runs back to the ignition switch. Another brown wire goes from there to the fuse panel where it is tied to 12V. This circuit lights up the generator warning light when the alternator is not charging, and it turns off when the alternator is charging.
Pin:9 Light Green = High Beam Lamp - Tied into high beam circuit at the firewall bulkhead connector to indicate when the high beams are on.
Pin:10 Light Blue = LH Signal - Tied into the left turn signal circuit at the curved turn signal switch connector to indicate when the turn signal is flashing
Pin:11 Dark Blue = RH Signal (*There looks to be an extra Dark Blue wire not in use?) - Same as above, but for right side. There should only be two dark blue wires (oil pressure and RH signal)
Pin:12 Grey = Cluster Lamp - Provides power for the gauge cluster backlighting. Comes from the headlight switch and is adjustable by twisting the headlight knob.
Pin:12 Grey = Heater Oil Lamp? - Heater Control Lamp - Runs to a bulb on the back of the heater controls for backlighting.
