Are the tails not transferable?

They are for the '85

I had to replace the tranny in my wagon and could only find a tranny with a mechanical speedo. My wagon had an electronic one. So I built this modification. see the pix. I know it's not perfect and I do have some concern for the effect of centrifugal force on the fingers. But it is .1 inch thick material and I had a dickens of a time bending it properly so I left a 1/4 inch gap between the fingers and the sensor and it still worked. The sensor is encased in heat shrinkable tubing which covers the end which is sealed with a piece of plastic bottle cap trimmed to fit.

As always comments welcome.
