The cruise control has a wire that goes to the back of the speedo and reads the revolutions off of the inside of the speedo. The control box for it is on the firewall just above the gas pedal and the wiring goes to the dashpot on the motor. It is NOT connected to the computer or the tranny, and you can actually throw the computer away and not have any problems with the cruise. I have two trucks with a standard HEI and 700R4 trannys installed (one is an 84 and the other is an 86). My 700R4s are not connected to any computer and I don't have lockup converters.
