just finding a cruise unit that works with a carb. They probably aren't made anymore.

Google "aftermarket cruise control". You should find something. I was looking not too long ago for one for a 76 motor home... 454/4bbl. No mention on the websites that FI was required.
In the end, didn't need it, so I have no experience with the install or anything.


Current fleet (subject to change w/o notice)
\'49 GMC 3/4-Ton , 60 Austin Healey Frog-eye Sprite (some assembly required), 2011 Dodge Avenger, 2015 Jeep Cherokee. No, they don't all run.
My other ride is a (B737)no, (B767)no, A320.... Update... was Embraer E190, now Boeing B787.

Knowledge is a wonderful thing, but ignorance means you don't know you can't do something.

Years ago I put an aftermarket unit on a Chevy Bel Air I had. It had magnets that were fastened to the drive shaft, and a sensor that mounted near them. There was a servo unit that went under the hood, with a cable that hooked on to the carburetor linkage.
I'm sure you'd have to look a bit to find such a unit today, but I'm sure there's one out there somewhere. It can be done.
