Speedometer not working after 5.0 HO swap

85 Ford Thunderbird 5.0.....Swapped in a mustang 5.0 HO and T-5 Tranny. 

Ever since the swap my speedometer hasn't worked.  Lights up just fine and everything just shows 0 mph.  Sometimes when in reverse I notice it registering 1 or 2 mph. 

I tried replacing the speed sensor with a borg werner one from Oreilys but did not change the situation. 

Any ideas on what to look for or how to troubleshoot this?  Thanks guys.  Jason.
