[Tigers] 5 speed transmission

[Buck Trippel]

When I put the T-5 (Ford case/ S10 tail housing) into a Tiger, I used an 
electronic speedometer I happened to own. I used the electronic sensor setup 
that came on 1990 & later S10s. (Reluctor, sensor and pigtail). All were 
available after-market from Standard Products.

The Chevy reluctor is larger than the Ford shaft so I made a shim for the 
shaft and pressed the reluctor into place. If I were to do it again, I'd 
make the shim thinner and secure it with hi-temp JB Weld or something 
similar.
