It appears to be an alternator tach, not an engine tach.
Would be useful for anyone who is doing alternator servicing.

I wonder why anyone servicing alternators that would want to mount a tach on their steering column. This tach came assembled with the cup and mounting bracket just as you see here. When I removed the tach from the cup to get pics, it was a snug fit, due to the fact that someone had wrapped masking tape around the body, just below the bezel; on it was hand written: tested with a V-8 engine and a date. I can't imagine why that would be written on there if the tachometer wasn't for an engine.

I could be wrong, but ive been looking at some older vintage tachs and some needed a sender and some, if im not mistaken, were wired to the alternator instead of the coil (i think) so its possible that's the case here.
