Cruise Control Systems: Description
The speed control system consists of operator switches, an amplifier assembly, a servo assembly, vacuum dump valve, speed sensor, wiring harness and vacuum hoses. Models with electronic dashboard use a special connection to the speedometer in place of a speed sensor. Manual transmission vehicles also include a clutch switch.
Control switches are located in the steering wheel. The control amplifier is below the dashboard on the driver's side. The servo assembly is in the engine compartment, while the brake and clutch switches are located on the brake pedal support bracket below the dashboard.
