The other mounted the gear onto the driveshaft slip yoke all the way back by the front u-joint so that it didn't bottom out against the transmission tailshaft. It also had a fabbed mount to hold the original 3 channel sensor. The stock sensor harness was extended back up towards the front of the car. If I were to go this way, I'd look into making a jumper harness maybe so it would be plug and play.
While it sounds more complicated, I think the trans yoke version would be the easier way to go.

Not that I was able to find, but I have seen a solution where a smaller (1/4 inch pitch teeth.... roughly 32 teeth if I remember correctly) gear was machined to work with the original 3 channel sensor. I have seen this set up 2 different ways. One mounted the gear directly on the pinion yoke between the housing and u-joint. The sensor was mounted on a fabbed bracket bolted to the center section.
