Default Problems with my 88 crx

I originally had a 89 crx with a b16a in it. My car was hit, so i put the engine in a 88 crx. I swapped everything over, including the wiring harness. Problem is my gauges don't work now. The tac-meter, gas gauge, even the H/C gauge sits at the bottom. My brake lights aren't glowing brighter when i hit the brakes. I also have a cracked windshield. Any advice or suggestions will be appreciated.

Check all fuses. Cracked windshield could possibly be the problem. Ha

Default thanks

Would i get the manual for a 88 civic or for the type of car my engine came out of. B16a. I was told that it's from a Integra from japan. I know my ECU also came out of that same car so...

Did the gauge work before? I mean did you know for sure it worked?

unless you accidentally disconected power from the back of the cluster or near the area I would say check your fuses first.
