I'll check it, and other things, here shortly. Pics by this afternoon, I promise!

My speedometer appears to be electric. No speedo cable (at least to the speedo itself; obviously it's getting its signal from somewhere!).

I do know that while my speedo sees to function fine, I can kinda slalom side to side and watch the needle sway a few mph with the inertia. I'm not sure if it effects the cruise signal or not, but it coincided with some of my surging. I like the direct shaft reading because it removes the middleman, which is a path to reliability.

Photos.
1. Pay no attention to my vacuum system, it's currently in a testing state for shift related stuffs. 2. The cruise is not perminant the way it sits, just an initial testing setip, yes I know it looks ratty. 3. Please excuse me from testing stuff today as just after I took these photos I very nearly cut the tip of my finger off. 4. Please don't ask about #3 as it's a llittle embarising. Pic 1, the little module and harness. Four plastic conections, two to servo, one for speed sensor, and one to the control stalk. Two hot wires, and two to the brake light switch. Grounds through the servo mounting. All there is to the wireing. I'l evenually get it working with the stock control stalk, I'm almost positive it's posible. And I have a few other pet thoughts dealing with wireing. I personaly like the driveshaft mounted speed sensor, bit if nobody beats me to it I'll see if the OEM sensor will work with this cruise.

I would like to shorten the cable on the servo, giving it a more direct pull on the throttle. I think that will be about all that can be done with it.
The length of pull the servo has to work with is not enough to go to WOT. I can give it that length with a lever, bit it will make it harder to pull. We shall see. As it is right this second, it works tolerably for the cost and probable reliability. To me at least.

Here's a picture of my setup (not much as I'm still waiting on the cruise to get here!). I removed the linkage to the old actuator completely, and added a little bit of length to the lever arm where it used to attach:

Well Crap-O. First attempt at using the stock cruise stalk was not a success. I need to interupt a 12v+ line at the same time as sending 12v+ to another for setting speed. I can accelerate and theoreticaly resume ok, just can't interupt that other line's 12v, so no set. I belive I can do it with a relay, just messier than I wanted.
We'll see...

Using a relay will work, I have to go fetch a diode or two to activate all the functions of the cruise with the overly simple OEM control stalk. But it'll work, just drove around and set it fine.
Word of warning in advance, most cruises are probibly different, it's not going to be something I can say ok put x wire on y terminal and your good. In the least I'll need to know the pinout and functioning voltage of a given cruise setup, then I can probibly figire it out for anyone wanting to know. I'll get back top the mechanical end of things eventually.
