They probably aren't made anymore. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2003 Posts: 452 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2003 Posts: 452 | 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.

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. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 41 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 41 | that dakota looks promising thanks | | |
