The tachometer measures the number of revolutions the engine makes in a minute. This indirectly equates to the speed of the vehicle.
Depending on the gear that the vehicle is in, you could determine speed with a tachometer. To determine your speed, you would need to know the gearing of the rear end as well as the circumference of the wheels.

Where is the vehicle speed sensor located in a 1992 Olds Custom Cruiser?
That depends on which speed sensor you are referring to. There are 4 ABS speed sensors, an idle speed sensor, an engine speed sensor, and a transmission speed sensor that I know of. As far as which one runs your speedometer, I believe that is the vehicle speed sensor mounted on the housing of your transmission. I have the same vehicle and the same problem. I have the same question as you as well. I have been doing some research and I have told you what I found. My tachometer and speedometer are not working. If anyone else knows anything different, I am sure both of us would appreciate it.
