Default Wiring up Ultra-lite gauges..plz help

Hey all,
I'm in the process of customizing my dash in my 69. I've got all new Autometer Ultra-lite gauges that I'm hooking up but have come across some problems. I'm working out of a MidAmerica manual and the wiring diagrams leave a lot to be desired.
Ok my questions are these..
(1) I want to hook up the water temp gauge and can't tell which of the three original wires do what. Ground is easy..black wire but is the 20P or the 20DG wire the sender or power???
(2) Voltage meter has a ground and a + ignition wire on the original harness which is which 16B or 16 B/W
(3)Fuel gauge wants the sender from the tank. Out of the two wires on the original connector which is it. 18P or 18T

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave

Pink is always ignition hot.
Green is to the temp sender.
Tan is to the tank sender.
