no power, wiring new dash

[67barracuda]

Well I got rid of the stock gauges and installed autometers for everything. Now I don't have these three hooks, the multi plug in the back of gauges, the red power wire, and black ground which both hooked to the back of the stock dash. I thought I only powered the dash, not the whole car? Do I need to jump anything with the multi plug to get power to the fuse box? Some how the dash must send power the fuse box, which I have no power to. What do I need to do to get power back thru the system with out using the stock dash.

The red wire comes from the fusable link. The black wire is POSITIVE continuance of current but actually on the ground side of the amp gauge . So its black... anyway,,, put a short 3/16 bolt and nut through the ring terminals of the red and black then tape them up good.

It was actually a blue wire that fed the instrument panel, gauges etc..
Most often top center pin of round main connecter.
