Angry speed o meter

I have an 86 e-150. I had the speedometer panel out replaceing some dash lights. Every since I did that the speedometer reads about 20mph fast. When I am running 55 the hand shows 75. Anyone have any idea what happened. Never had any problems untill then. Thanks Jimmiebear

If you twisted the panel with the cable still conected you may have sprung the needle,try disconnecting the cable and see if the speed o zeros out. mush

Thanks for your reply.
The needle does go back to 0. Everything seems normal except the needle shows about 20mph fast at all speeds.
