CHECK ENGINE (temp gauge/RPM) flutters when hitting bumps (bogging)

Sounds to me like a momentary power loss at the ECU if not the whole system. I'd start with checking the battery cables, grounds and fusible links.

yup, I actually just replaced an old fusible link. new wire now, so yeah.. that does seem pretty knowledgeable to keep tracking all the way back to the computer now.
thank you for your advise man, and i guess I'll bring this post up again if it happens not to be it.

to the top!
still having this problem, started pulling tape off a ton of wired-in safc wires to the ecu, connected them better, taped back over.
I would like a pin out for an 83 ecu
if anyone can help with that it'd be awesome.
any other ideas for me to partake before wasting all my money at a shop?
the car isn't losing full power to the accessories when this happens, could it be timing?
if so, what degree is it supposed to be lined up with?

I hate that there is literally no "search" for this car, I have found nothing while searching for months now.
