You screwed up somewhere.
The computer and it's wiring have nothing to do with the dash or gauges which run off their own wires from the sensors
on the engine / fuel tank .

Check your fuses yet ??



About 95% of the wires you will need when converting to a Carb are on the drivers side of the engine bay. Here is the C100 plug for your 88,..... ( firewall drivers side )





I've got an 88 GTA engine harness and it's the largest harness I've ever pulled out of a ThirdGen. I can understand the need to try and make it smaller after a conversion - sadly; rather than tucking un-needed wiring away most people hack the harnesses apart when swapping.



As long as the C100 wiring is correct your dash should light up. If you check & your getting power properly through C100 ( and have good grounds ) then I'd start to think the dash cluster was the problem.
