I installed the CCS100 last October.  I bought it here:  =
http://www.murphskits.com/product_info.php?products_id=3D422  The vacuum =
servo was installed as Ron described.   I connected the cruise control =
cable to the throttle bracket under the dash similar to figure 12 in the =
instructions as Ron did also.  I did not use the magnets on the =
driveshaft or the Ford electric speed sensor.  The controls signal comes =
from the negative side of the coil.  Works really well.  You will need a =
switch for the brake pedal and if you have LED brake lights you will =
need a relay.
