don't tell me you just changed the speedo's face. swap the whole speedometer assy. It also could be off if you took the needle off. To remedy that, If you've done it, take off the needle once more, and put it back on where "0" mph would be, there is a little white mark on the face where it's "default" position is, ya know, when the car isn't moving. 0 mph. push the needle in, and that should be it.
