Tewd matches what my 88 parts car wiring is.... This 90 is a bit different though... My searches haven't found anything that suggests they should be different
Any ideas? :-\

Gauge cluster issues

Well, you already know C-8 is correct so you're doing something wrong. Nothing I have shows A-10 being used.
Verify on the cluster which is the switched 12 volt. Either eyeball it or ring it out using the meter. Since it feeds most of the gages it'll be obvious. Iirc it's even marked on the board as "IGN" but don't hold me to that. Once you ID it trace back to whatever connector and pin it goes to (should be C-8) and take it from there. Once the other side (coming from the fuse) is verified wire it to C-8. I think you made a mistake though.
Again, any time something doesn't make sense or a signal is missing immediately stop and do whatever it takes to verify you're probing the right place.

Ok for ease of explanation...
Here is the cluster connections on my 88 parts car the wire colors match the tewd
Connector A
Connector B
Connector C
And here is the connections for my 90

The yellow wire in A 10 receives 12volts with key on and loses voltage when the gauge fuze is removed
I visually traced the back of the cluster and c8 is labeled ign+

I can verify continuity with my meter I pulled the "gauge" fuze and put one lead to the "out" side and the other lead to the A 10 and it showed continuity
Great. Then move power from A 10 to C 8. You don't care if it matches the schematic, all you care about is it works. Chalk it up to the price paid for swapping clusters. If you still can't get it to work take it outside and do a mag dump on it with that new Glock...
Have fun. I'm actually kind of impressed. You have good tools and the beginnings of a decent handle on this stuff. It was really not necessary for me to get involved.
Awe shucks 
Lol thanks I actually really enjoy this kind of stuff and I really appreciate your help

Works like a charm had to move a couple other wires around to get my fuel Gauge working but all good now
