Chevrolet Truck Engine Problem

Speedodometer needle does not register properly on 78 chevy pu truck. It does not return to zero. It starts at 90mph and returns to same when engine is off. I moved it back to zero with my finger and it worked ok for a very short time and is now back to 90. It registers from here and returns to 90 upon stopping. Does this mean I need another gauge?
