A tachometer is a device that measures the rotation speed of a shaft or disk, as in a motor of other machine. In automotive use, it is used as a gauge showing the speed (RPM) of the engine shaft that is driving the transmission, usually in thousands of rotations per minute. Too high a tach speed can damage the engine.
Remove the instrument panel cover. Remove the tachometer retaining screws. Remove the tachometer cable from the back of the tachometer. Reverse the process to install the new tachometer.

A tachometer and an auto-meter is an instrument measuring the rotation speed of a car or a motor. An auto-meter is more accurate and reliable than a tachometer.
Tachometer is formed from the two Greek words: tachos 'speed' and metreo 'to measure'.

There is no such animal as a "tachometer sending unit." The tachometer circuit is spliced into the ignition circuit and reads the actual ignition signal used by the ignition module.
The inventor is unknown for a tachometer. However, the first documented use of a tachometer device was by the German engineer Dietrich Uhlhorn in 1817. He is credited with its first use, but not necessary as being its inventor.
