Every 86-'90 speedo cable I've seen the plastic clip was broke. Old and brittle plastic. I locate the cable into the speedo head as usual, and then being careful it doesn't come back out i replace the instrument panel back in the dash. Then working under the hood I push the cable firmly towards the speedo, making sure it's still seated. I then secure the cable so it won't come back out. Usually it will stay by it's self but sometimes the grommet in the firewall is loose enough it lost it's gripping power. A wedge along side the cable pushed into the hole or a clamp around the cable housing attached to the firewall will hold it.

Ditto this plus I used a standard hose clamp (around the POS plastic connector) at the back of the speedo....
