79 instrument panel wiring

i have a 79 f250 with warning lights. i am installing a new summit wiring harness. does anyone have any idea what/where the green wire with red stripe, as well as the red wire with yellow stripe go from the instrument cluster connection. and where would my new 12 volt power source "plug" into the cluster connection. i have the other wires in the cluster pretty well figured out, but need help with these. i foolishly cut all of the old harness out before installing the new harness, and am having to figure out quite a bunch. thanks for any help, and sorry for the lengthy post

GREEN with a RED stripe should be power to the voltage regulator under the hood - it is sourced downstream of the ALT light in the panel, and goes out to the I terminal of the regulator.

Not sure on the RED with YELLOW stripe.
