1973 loose wires behind the dash Options

[HalfMoon]

Imagine my dismay when today I decided to open the dash (I was trouble shooting a fuel gauge not working-easy fix, PO had cut the wires at the tank for some reason), discovering a huge amount of loose wires. The PO had installed a completly different tach so I'm hoping alot of these wires (11) had a purpose for being disconnected. Vain hope most likely...
I did notice the brake warning light stays on all the time...and of course nothing else works (except the fuel gauge that I just hooked back up). The car is a v-8 converted teener so alot of stuff may be disconnected for that reason as well.
The real problem is that I'm VERY color blind. I can read a schematic reasonably well if I know what color wires I'm looking at on the car, which brings us to the reason for this post!
Could someone help me identify the loose wires I've numbered in the enclosed photograph? What color corresponds to the numbered wires? With that data I should be able to figure out what was supposed to go where and assimilate if it was disconnected for purpose.
Wiring and color blindness can be a serious challenge, so any help is appreciated :-)

That diagram is for 1974 car... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

But it should still be somewhat useful if not entirely accurate. The wire colors/stripes should indicate what each goes to per the tabel at the bottom.

The 1973 car has that diode in the circuits for the combo brake warning (master cyl)/ebrake light. The factory schematics will tell you where each wire goes - I think Pelican has them online.

Jeff,
Is it the one enclosed? On the legend I'm not exactly sure of what I'm seeing :-(
The "combo", are they referring to 41 Diode on chart C, legend D?
I see the speedo and tach on Chart A, Legend B but nothing that looks like the combo gauge :-/
Cornfused.
