Speedo Reads as Stop
After installing my dakota digital box after the T56 swap, my speedo jumps around at a stop. The instructions said it could be three things:
1: Tach wire too close to speedo wire. I never moved the tach wire, so i doubt this is it.
2: Bad grounds. The box is ground both to the chassis and to one of the speedo wires, and the multimeter says they are both good grounds, so I don't think this is it.
3: Signal wire too close to output wire. I moved them so that the closest they were (other than where they plug into the box) was like a foot, and it still jumped around.
What is causing this?

Oh man, this was 4 years ago, I really don't remember how I fixed it. I don't even have the car anymore, moved on to a vette. Sorry.
