ya I have 2 threads on that board. My name is next to both of them...........

I presume you are talking about the cruise control question?

Don't most of them pick up speed off a magnet ty-wrapped to the drive shaft? Some of the newer ones are limited to using VSS vehicle speed sensor though. I don't know if that comes of the 700R4 or not.

don't know if this will help or not but, I used to have a '80 chevy with cruise. it worked by a unit under the hood. I had to replace it once, pulled one from a Malibu. The speedo cable came up from the tranny, attached to the unit, then continued to the speedo head. I beleive that all the early chevy's worked this way.

Hope that helps.
