yeah, bro i hear your problem.....that hydro to cable conversion is going to cost you more than its worth...i would check out hasport.com and see what they say...they should have a kit for your needs there. obd1 should be okay...but i'll check it out for you just in case....have you looked at ebay for additional parts?

you can use the stock shifter linkages but you have to shorten them about an inch or so. The larger tranny sits closer to the shifter because it is bigger. The obd 2 and obd one distributors have the same components, the only difference is the connectors. All you have to do is either re wire it or just remove the components from your stock one and re intall them in the new distributor body.
