It is very difficult to understand your post because it only vaguely resembles proper English writing. But I think I have the general idea of what you are asking.
Have you checked the meter fuse?
The speedometer is totally mechanical. It will work as long as the speedometer cable is connected to the rear of the cluster. They have a tendency to get knocked out if they were not properly installed and latched.
Buy a copy of the Haynes manual as it has the wiring diagrams in the back. You'll need those...
