Instrument cluster headaches after carb swap

I'm trying to utilize the factory instrument cluster after an engine build/carb swap. It's a 1995 Corvette with a carbureted LT1. No emissions or vacuum accessories are on the engine. The ECU/powertrain computer has been removed as well. The transmission is a built 4L60E controlled by a US Shift Quick 4 controller. This controller has a speedo output wire.
I have been able to get the tach, oil pressure, oil temp and voltage working. Water temp and speedo are throwing me for a loop. I have schematics of the water temp sensor to the ECU but nothing else. I can not find any schematics regarding the instrument cluster.

Does anyone know what the water temp input wire color is? Is the cluster input a voltage value? Or Ohms direct from sensor?

Does anyone know the speedo wire input color?

Thank you in advance for any information sent my way.

your working at a huge dis-advantage if you don,t have a factory shop manual for your specific year car, and basic tools like a multi-meter, and vacuum /pressure gauge

THINK LOGICALLY ,ISOLATE AND TEST,NEVER ASSUME!
PULL THE TROUBLE CODES AND USE THE SHOP MANUAL AS A GUIDE,
YOU may be amazed at the number of times a bad sensor or loose wire, bad ground or blown fuse is the problems cause.

I've seen guys rush out and spend hundreds of dollars on parts,too fix a problem, take a great amount of effort to tear apart the dash or other area and once the new parts installed it still won't work, so forced to do further research at that point they only then find a blown fuse or corroded electrical connection.(that was the true initial cause)
