Jeez, I thought I'd researched this pretty hard a couple years ago trying to find a way to get a cable or pulse with a T5 Camaro tail-shaft with a S10 tail-housing. That cable drive conversion looks tits - if only I'd known; that would have been the way to go. Mechanical is the way to go - much better than a bunch of electrons jumping around. Can't trust em.

All I found was a bunch of Rube Goldberg contraptions that used a worm clamp to put a S-10 cable drive on a Camaro tail-shaft and use a cable drive S10 housing. The attachment method was iffy and mechanical tail-housings for the S10 were hard to find.

I also recognized that the T5 wasn't optimum for the LS motor. I'm an old coot and hard launches and drag races are behind me, but the next owner may want a T500/600 or T56 and I really needed a pulse output rather than a mechanical drive for an upgraded 5/6 speed to handle the LS torque.

Last time I was in Prescott it took me 4 hours to drive there with the traffic. You couldn't throw a dead cat without hitting a damned traffic circle. I bought my truck from a guy named Guffy Brown who has a restaurant somewhere near Prescott and always thought it might be fun to drive it up there and show it to him. He'd get a kick out of it, and I know I would. Maybe this fall when all this isolation nonsense lifts I'll wander up there. I'll give you a call when I head up that way.
