The purpose of the tan wire #2 that goes to the ignition switch and then to the brakes is for the brake warning light. If your new cluster does not have a brake warning light, then you won't need that wire. The reason it goes to the ignition switch is because the ignition switch shorts that wire to ground temporarily when the switch is turned to start. It is a way to test that your brake warning light bulb works.

I talked to a guy at Classic Instruments, and you are dead on, dude. The volt meter on the new set gets its reading from the power wire, so I don't need the 1 or 12 pin, and I just coiled up the #2 pin and wire and zip tied it back. I may use it to power something else in the near future when the suspension gets here.
Thanks again man
