Blake,
don't worry about any special wiring for the voltmeter in the SA63 cluster. If it is anything like the MA61 analogue cluster, ign + gnd are always connected to it anyway and that is what the voltmeter reads.
Although I'm no expert, I've heard that analogue->digital IC swaps in MA61s are messy as toyota used a completely different set of plugs/sockets on the back of the IC.
Still, a bit of time spent studying the circuits on the back of the two ICs will tell you how to graft SA63 plugs onto the MA61 wiring.
To minimise the number of problems you have to solve simultaneously I'd be tacking it by either:
a) leaving in the digi dash & getting the v8 running. Then do the IC swap; or
b) reconnct the old computer/harness so it runs the 5M. Do the IC swap and once you are happy the 5M is running ok, then drop in the v8.
Either way I don't think replacing the MA61 chassis wiring with SA63 chassis wiring is a good idea (think of all the auto aircon crap).

Regards

Peter
