I just put a autometer tach in my car but the tach is off by 300 rpms from the stock. Is there a way to adjust the Autometer Tach?

The factory Nissan tach. is not accurate. The Autometer is is probably reading right. My 92 will rev to 7900 by the factory tach. and 7700 by my new Autometer.

Sam is right. The OE tach is off, not the Autometer.

Mine always changes depending on the temperature inside the car. For example, if the sun is beaming in my car, my Autometer will be off by 200 rpm, but if it's cold, it'll be off by 400 rpm. However the shift point changes to compensate for the innacuracy.
