Re: [AMC-List] Thinking about Cruise Control

["Swygert, Francis G MSgt 436 CES/CECM" <Francis.Swygert3@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've run similar units way back when! The magnets are usually stick on,
but should also have some light wire to go around them. Clean the
driveshaft real good, and mount the pickup as close to the trans as
possible so the magnets don't move much. The Audiovox units are pretty
easy to install. There may be a tach signal you can connect instead of
the magnets. The aftermarket box I run on my car now uses a tach signal.


You can also use a cruise control pickup that screws between the speedo
cable and trans in place of the magnets (like a factory cruise). It has
the same function as the magnets. You can get those pickups at NAPA --
you want a four pulse per rotation pickup I believe, but an eight pulse
should work. The cruise control counts the pulses it's getting when you
push the set button then maintains that number of pulses. 

I believe the Audiovox unit has the electronics built into the servo
like mine (not sure what brand mine is). The factory unit has a "brain
box" under the dash, so make sure you get all of it if you go that
route.
