I have a 1964 imperial and when I was adding the auto pilot, instead of pulling the correct cable for the speedometer, I pulled out the gearshift control cable.‍ ugh......It's not fully out but I know I messed up the adjustment. What can I do to correct it?

If you didn't turn the adjusting wheel just put it back in. If you did put the wheel back where it was and put it back in.
 
I did this in my '65 Barracuda.

Basically, follow the procedure in the service manual and you should get it close. With a little luck, it will work right the first time. It wasn't quite right with mine, so I ended up having Mrs. Big John shift the car while I was underneath it to tweak it. I had the drain pan off to see it visually and that made it easier.
