So now you want all my secrets!!!

 

Cruise control - Audiovox CCS100             This is an nice small unit -
there maybe others available now

 

The throttle control vacuum unit is located under the passenger foot panel.

The throttle cable is mounted behind the dash and is attached inside to the
throttle pedal link.

The only part going into the engine compartment is the vacuum line.

 

The controller is mounted in the ash tray.  I also considered a hinged plate
for the controller so it could be hidden easily.   I ran out of time
thinking about that possibility.  I installed my cruise control for the Big
Sky SUNI trip.   I got it installed the day before leaving and I had a
couple of teething issues getting it to work correctly.  I forget what those
problems were but they were minor issues.   I don't think I had the
controller in the ash tray then - just tucked under the rug so I could grab
it when needed.  Later I just thought the ash tray was a nice place for the
controller; I also had a spare ash tray that I thought was perfect for
modification.  I think the possibilities for the controller are many it's
just what is convenient for you.

 

I used the magnet on the drive shaft for the input but you can use the Ford
electronic speed sensor.   The last time I looked at the price for that part
the speed sensor without a cable drive for a speedometer was less than the
ones with.   This is strange because the speed sensor without just has a
plug that can be removed and you can push the speedometer cable into it.   I
assume that is still correct but it would need checking.

 

Well I hope that gives you some ideas

Ron Fraser

Subject: [Tigers] Cruise control

 

I'm thinking of doing a cruise control.  I assume most work the same way.
Anyone have a preference for brand name and what are the options people have
used for  location of the controller?  I would prefer something near the
dash that I can see, but don't want to cut up the car or start drilling
holes in the dash.
