Default 91 crx si..need some help!

ok so ive got this 91 crx si i picked up a week ago and got up and going pretty good, but ive got a few loose ends id like to fix, and need some advice.

the rpm guage, fuel guage, and temp guage dont work, turn signals dont work but brake lights do, and the car seems to jerk when i completly let off the gas and when i press the gas again....and last but not least, i hear a loud pop most of the time when i release the clutch after changing gears or to take off.....any ideas? i was told my fuse box could be going out as for the guage problem, but im no good with electrical.

the crx is d16z6 swapped, and converted to obd1 using a ryewire conversion harness and stock p28 ecu. any help is greatly appreciated. ive included pics...if you look in the pic of the rear inside, what is that lil unit directly behind my driver seat? i think the fuel pump is in the middle, with those wires running out, but whats that to the right of it behind my seat? reason i ask is i have a black wire there labeled ground, that isnt hooked to anything and i think it could be the reason my guage dont work maybe? and also, what intake manifold do i have? where the tb bolts up, it has 3 studs and 1 bolt that hold on the tb...

just did the timing belt/water pump and set the timing, it seems to be running great, starts up as soon as i hit the key, no hesitation...and i changed the oil when i done the pump/belt/timing. also, today i developed another problem, the car has started shaking when i accelerate, but if i let off the gas and coast everything is smooth? i know its a engine speed problem and not vehicle speed...im thinking maybe whhelbearing, so i jacked it up, and i can move the wheel a little from left to right, but none from top to bottom..if that makes sense. it only shakes if i give it a good amount or alot of gas, but if i give it just a little gas, it accelerates smoothly...im stumped guys ans need help asap, as this is my daily driver and only car!

Crazy vibrations durring accel, could be a couple of things:
loose lug nuts (it happens from time to time)
Binding CV axle
F'd motor mount

Make sure your TB is tight, also.

I would just buy new tie rod ends, they are only about $25 each at autozone.
