jumpy gages

My 82 speedo and gas gage jump all over the place when im driving it. Not once does it stay in one spot. What would be a good place to start on fixing this?

Thanks
Jason

Check your grounds, thats quite possibly the problem. Look for where your gauge cluster or w/e is grounded.

check the gauge cluster wiring connector behind the gauges, and check the gauge mounts for looseness.
