I replaced the 85 mph speedometer with a 140mph version for my 87 LX and now my speedometer reads a little high.

We're talking +7 @ 60 mph. Is this a calibration issue with the new unit or something else?

Stock tire size and AOD in use.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Most likely a calibration issue. If you'd rather not pull out the gauge and have it recalibrate, then try a new speedometer gear with 1 more tooth on it, than your current gear.
