I have no power to the instrument and LPS buss, the wiring diagram shows one orange goes to ignition switch connector and one goes to radio connector. The tan shows it goes to panel light dimmer switch. What powers this terminal?

Looks very similar to my 1970. In my case it'd be from the Panel Dimmer Switch (tan wire). Those dimmers are a known problem. I'd look there if I were you.

The whole diagram. I'll look for those two when I have more time. Challenger RTA is our resident electrical guru, maybe he'll chime in.

Before you go tearing into every thing. You could have a bad dimmer sw. Check for power on both sides of the fuse. Then remove light panel and clean where I show the rust. Apply dielectric grease. The screw on the light panel are the final ground.

You have time until you get it. I would remove light panel and clean. It will save you some PMS. No the other kind. Naval Term, Periodic maintenance System.

I looked around and couldn't find them. I take it that one is solid yellow and one is solid dark blue and they're somewhere above the pedals. Please correct me if my specifics are wrong.

Do you know where the front fender indicators connect to also? Or have a pic where they connect into

Top left. It is not shown in most diagrams. The color one is for a Valiant. I is easier to see.

Most of the diagrams are in general the same from year to year. There are differences such as California cars or accessories add or deleted.

As I said it may or my not show accessories. If everything was shown it would be a lot more complex.
