IIRC the 95-5 S10 T5 will have an electronic speedo output only.
No way to drive a mechanical speedo with an expensive converter box.

Jim's stuff would allow one who is mechanically apt to install almost any t5 into and AMC by getting a ford cased 2wd T5. His trans is about useless, sorry Jim, It's non world class so even the case is not useable to build a world class unit.

If anyone does decide to build a non world class tran I do have a NOS 2.95-1 first gear ford cluster!
You'd need an input and assorted gears to finish the build.
