You have pin2 of the 2907 connected to ground and the cap which should connect from pin2 to ground is shorted out by the breadboard.
Remember all the vertical receptacles or holes are connected together.
Make sure the negative leg of the 1uf cap also connects to ground.

The red wire should be moved one place to the left because
the red wire is shown connected to the green wire.
Rest looks OK but don't really need all those white wires.

Everything looks OK.
A quick test to check the 2907 is to connect a jumper from pin2 to ground but don't change or remove any other components.
Connect power only and see if the LED lights up.
If that works then I would say the chip is probably OK otherwise try another chip.
Another issue is the actual number of pulses that are generated on a single rotation of the shaft.
I calculated the 120K resistor value on 1 pulse per rotation but it could be 2 or more.
Do have a meter that can measure frequency?
