Default speedo going crazy

Hope someone can help! I have a 87 L98 that I just changed the cap,rotor,wires and plugs on. It started right up, but now the digital speedo is registering along with the tach. I'm not sure where it gets its feed from or what I may have crossed. Any ideas?

Thanks........ Tom

Sounds like you hooked the tach wire up to the wrong spot/slot on the dizzy.
