Default Fast speedo prob

I bought my 88 gt and it had a snapped speedo cable...i replaced the cable and speed sensor..after getting everything put back together the speedo read fast...so i looked around and found out that i needed the red speedo gear instead of the yellow that was in it...i put the red gear in it and it still reads fast.. i am running 3.73 in the rear and have a T-5 tranny...any suggestions on why its still reading fast??
