I have come accross some cruise parts, but am missing the transducer, and am strill wondering what is correct for installation.

I heard it was never factory installed, but there was a GM accessory kit which probably specified where to put the parts.

I have some pictures I collected of the parts ( lever, harness, etc) if you want to vieew them. Just let me know.

Here are part of the original install directions. I have another sheet at home that shows where to actually drill the holes I will post it tonight.

cwilkie · 09-07-2005, 12:14 PM

I have a complete cruise setup but not the instructions so please post more when you get time.

Thanks SOOOOOO much for the diagrams. this will really help us. BTW - I have the stalk switch and the transducer, but I need a servo. can anyone tell me if they have a working spare to sell?

Mine is so original; I wonder if there is anyone out there that can service and re-build these so that it is restored correctly?
The diaphram boot inside I think usually breaks, like on Tri-power set-ups.
I am going to have to be really careful when I remove this thing!

cwilkie · 09-07-2005, 02:33 PM

Has anyone ever installed one of these with a 700r4 behind a big block?

Chance

edmonton72 · 09-07-2005, 03:08 PM

That looks to complicated, just put a brick on the gas pedal.

The CC cable usually is either right below the gas pedal cable's stud on the linkage arm and having the extended stud out about 1/4" past that.I would need to look again but I think yes it is possible! Yes!

I always think of a loaded C10 700R4 with CC on 82-86 Chevy V8 applications!
Caprices are very similar!
I usually base my application upgrades on these!
The CC stud stands out farther than the studs for the gas pedal cable and the TV cable. This gives you a better connection for instalation needs!
GM thought that one out well!

72 longhorn BB · 09-07-2005, 08:46 PM

This is all really great info., but can I ask if someone has a manifold bracket and secont throttle cable to the servo the want to sell?

RPOZ11 · 09-07-2005, 08:49 PM

Manifold bracket? The one at the rear of the carb for the cable?

chipflyer · 09-07-2005, 11:17 PM

Here are the rest of the install directions, happy to share them. Sorry for the crappy sized images, hopefully they will help.

I just took one off my 72 marked "dana" could this be factory? The box with the speedo cables is more of a rectangle than in the pics but every thing else looked the same.

Longhorn Man · 10-09-2005, 09:56 AM

Do any of you have the speedo cable from the treansducer to the speedo head?

RPOZ11 · 10-09-2005, 01:47 PM

yes! its still assembled on my truck...did you need a pic of it?

Longhorn Man · 10-09-2005, 02:35 PM

Well... actually I need one...I shoulda said that.

Bob Moore · 10-09-2005, 06:11 PM

72Jimmy - I believe the units marked DANA are aftermarket. I have several of them on 73 & up trucks. I also see them on Chrysler Corp pickups and vans. I don't normally look at F*rds so I couldn't tell you about them.

will this work?

Longhorn Man · 10-09-2005, 08:36 PM

How long is it?
Also, can't tell from the pic, is one end smaller than the other? (the part that you spin on)

RPOZ11 · 10-09-2005, 08:48 PM

LongHorn DUDE:
What is the direction on this that you are trying to achieve?
Do you need a cable?
so that you can find one in a yard or something????

Longhorn Man · 10-09-2005, 08:52 PM

No, I need one for my truck.
The short cable on mine snapped a couple weeks ago at the begining of a road trip.

RPOZ11 · 10-09-2005, 09:20 PM

is it the cable you need? or is the jacket housing broken too?
