Default 4.8 into 95 Lt1 Camaro. Gauges help!

Hey everybody,
2000 4.8 into a 1995 lt1 camaro. Using a harness from painless wiring, trying to wire the gauges. Nothing but the fuel gauge works. I have both the speedo and tach wired to to the right place I think. Still have nothing, any suggestions on whats going on?

Also, the stock connectors and stock harness should have worked for stuff like temp and oil pressure and voltage. Sometimes going to the new stuff is not doing anything but setting you back.

Which is EXACTLY why I tell every person I talk to about a swap project, UNBOLT AND UNPLUG everything!! Do not cut ANYTHING until you are pretty much done with the vehicle. That harness being removed may have the plug or connector to get you going again.
