RE: Cruise Controls

[Kevin Merkley <krmerkley@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

What does the switch look like in the car?

Can you email me or post photos of the unit in the engine compartment 
and what mods you had to do to make it work?

Does it have a brake switch?  Can you accelerate or decelerate with the 
unit like a later factory one?

Sorry for the questions,  I have always wanted cruise in my car but 
thought I'd end up with a mid 70's set up (If I can find one and it I 
can modify everything to make it work).

This may be the answer.

Thanks,

K.
