Default 1971 gauge question

I’m assuming the red arrow is for a power wire? What color wire would that be? Is the nut under the green arrow the only one isolated from the case? I checked the resistance on both resistors at one point but didn’t make any notes, seems like one was a bit height than the other. Any pictures of completed clusters or input would be greatly appreciated as I hope this is the last go at this! This had to come back out but on a higher note the original clock now works.

The 2nd pic, the red arrows show the jumper from the 12v. of the fuel gauge. (Black wire)

Ok, I missed that. I had this apart a few years ago and lost my pictures. This should should get everything working, yes, even the clock!
Everyone complains about the clock, this one sat for about ten years and fired right up. I don’t know how accurate it is though.
