swopping gauges

I need help finding out what wires go to where. I have a 73 set of gauges with no alt or oil gauge on it. Mine just has the alt and oil dummy light. I grabbed another set that has the alt and oil gauge on it. The wire harness on them are a little different. I have the wire harness end for the one with the alt and oil gauges but, I need to know what colors went to where on both of the harness. I figured hundreds of guys have done this on this sight. I already know I'm needing a oil pressure sending unit. Please help

You have to replace the entire wiring harness, from the regulator to the dash to switch from idiots lights to gauges.
