'68 442 electric

I just finished with an under hood restoration, engine, trans, radiator painted and cleaned. When I was doing all this though I removed some gauges the previous owner had installed. The underdash 3 Oil press, water temp, amps. I also removed the electric wires that ran to it too. Problem is that I didn't take photos or notes about these wires just thinking everything was just for the gauges. Now I don't have any power to anything. There is a wire that comes off the positive cable and I think it ran to the gauges. I think it should go to the horn relay but I'm not sure. I tried looking at the wire diagram on WAC's but it is not very clear even when printed. I've read through a number of other posts and wonder if someone could email me the wire diagram for a '68?
It would be very much appreciated, the motor and all looks great but what does it sound like??
Photos of the completed work coming..

The reason you have no power to anything is probably because you removed the amp gauge. Without it you would have needed to connect those 2 wires together.

I hooked up the wire to the horn relay and all my electrics work now. Interestingly I now have interior lights when I have a door open. They didn't work when this wire was hooked to the amp gauge (not a factory gauge by the way). I haven't dug any deeper into the wire diagram I am just happy I can start the engine. A couple more quick items to get off the checklist and I should have it on the road by the weekend!
