1980 el camino with a 1990-93 gmc v6 engine and transmission your question is how do you get the speedometer to read and also how do you get the transmission to show what gear it is in?

If the transmission a computer shifting transmission, then you need to hook up the eltronic speed sensor to be able to read speedometer. The gear reading is on the dash column, in which a wire hooks to the steering column.


How can you show the difference between speed and velocity?

Velocity is speed with direction. To show the difference, show the direction of an object compared with speed alone. For example, a speedometer shows speed alone, a car on a road can show speed and direction.

What does the speedmater of a car show?

A calculation of the vehicle's speed based on the gear ratio the transmission is in, the rear end gear ratio, and the RPMs of the engine and input shaft.

Does the reading of the speedometer of a car show the speed or velocity of the car?

The speed of the car. The speed-o-meter only shows a magnitude ( or a number ) and to tell the velocity of a car it would have to give that speed some direction. Since the speedometer assigns no direction to the car, the number assigned as the speed of the car cannot be the velocity of the car.


How does a speedometer indicate wheteher or not accleration is occurring?

A speedometer does not indicate wether acceleration is occurring. It does, however, show instantaneous speed by calculating from the rotations per minute of the axle with the circumference of the tire.
