if your talking about the needle on the speedometer, disconnect the battery again and it should go back around to the right spot for some reason when they get juice from the battery they jump backwards , try this it worked on mine when i put the battery cable back on i dont immediately start it , i wait for the needle to go down to the bottom before starting , hope it works for you

Why does the speedometer on your 1991 Toyota pickup 4 cylinder 2wd shake or flutter?
Back in 1991 I THINK that they still used a mechanical cable from the transmission to the speedometer. Only later did they change to electronic readout, but I'm not sure what year. It sounds like the speedo cable needs to be lubricated, possibly replaced.
What's the fix for a needle on a 1951 Ford speedometer jumping and making noise?
The cable needs lubricating. Remove the speedometer cable and lubricating it with special lube for that purpose. Any auto parts store can provide the proper lube. Remove the cable and clean it throughly with spray brake cleaner. Let it dry and apply the lube. Reinstall the cable and you should see the needle stop jumping and making noise.

In older cars, a flexible cable ran from the transmission to the speedomer on the dash. The faster the cable was turning, the further it it pushed the needle. I think all of today's cars have electronic speed sensors.
