Sensors

* Speed

* Distance travelled ("odometer")

On nearly all 1975 cars you'll find those two driven by a cable off the outgoing side of the gearbox, and fully mechanical. It'd be quite a stretch to call those 'sensors'. The others are either analog electrical or occasionally (oil/coolant temp and pressure) still mechanical as well.
