Can you post the part number on your amplifier box? I can look it up and make sure that you've got the right box.
Did you re-solder all the contact points, that also helps.
Are you having any speedometer problems? Bouncy needle,etc? The 124s are mechanically driven speedometers, a problem like that might cause inconsistencies/oddities in the output of the hall-effect sensor and confuse the cruise control.
