Same part, EQUUS -- I got one from JCW on sale for $69.99. Otherwise 10%
off or free shipping, or free gift, depending on which catalog your
looking at.

Forget the clutch switch. No place to wire it in on the EQUUS unit. You
depress the clutch when the C/C is on, the engine speeds up 20%, the C/C
computer senses the sudden change of speed and shuts it down.

Vacuum reservoir may be a good idea. On my MGA I get slow response on
the C/C at 1/2 throttle, almost no response at 3/4 throttle, suspect
limited vacuum available to be the problem. I will be trying a small
vcuum reservoir soon.
Recently put the same C/C unit on an MGC, gets instant response, perfect
operation, very steady speed control. Bigger engine makes a big
difference, no vacuum problem there.
