Speedometer
Changed out my dash bulbs to LED, plugged everything back together including the speedo cable. Speedometer works, but not the same, bounces around alot

Any thoughts?

Spedometer cable probably isn't fully seated in the gauge. Try pulling the cable out and putting it back in listening for it to click.
