I don't have a physical diagram but I have notes from when I did this a few months ago. If you can wait until tomorrow I can tell you everything I tapped into.

So my actual wiring diagram wasnt enough huh? Honeslty it's very simple to figure out

You should test any wire colors he gives you before you hook anything up. A volt meter and 5 mins will tell you everything you need to know either to double check his notes or to find what you want on your own. Just test with the key on, off, and the lights on and off.

OP please note I used short sweep electric gauges...you didn't say what you have, so some things might be different...

That's what I did. I encourage everyone out there to check their own wires and learn on their own while using my results to verify their findings. Here's the chart I made from my '97 GT:

Hopefully it isn't confusing. Oh and don't follow the top part as how to re-wire your clock harness...that is the way to effectively toast your clock. There is one wire that is always hot (keeps time for the clock when car doesn't run) so we don't need to use that one. Also, there are two choices for lighting power, but only one that dims and that is what I used.

I installed short sweep electric gauges, so here is what connects where:

These are the instructions I used: http://www.autometer.com/download_instruction/1079A.pdf
If you're not using what I used, find your installation instructions here: http://www.autometer.com/tech_instructions.aspx?sid=1
Here are a few sites I referred to during my install (there are a TON of others, I just used bits and pieces of these the most)

Good luck and if you have any questions I will be happy to answer them!

Your diagram is epic. I just might sticky is. If it was on a napkin it would be like the most epic thing ever...

Haha thanks! I regret to inform you it was NOT on a napkin but on the back of the instructions from Autometer which came with my gauges. You can see a few places where the instructions show through from the other side of the sheet. It was handy once I was in the car testing all the wires, so I used it.
