[DeTomaso] cruise control question

[Jim Gray]

Chris and All,

The problems are usually in the dip switch settings.  I became very adept at
removing my right rear tire (behind it was where I had the servo mounted)
before I got everything just right.  Dave Doddek was instrumental in helping
me through the trial and error process to get those settings right.  Once
the dip switches were right everything worked as if by magic.

Good Luck
Jim Gray

Thanks for the suggestions.

1) since I already bought the vacuum one, I think I'm stuck with it.  An
electric one would be better, and if all else fails, I guess I'll go with
that.  Maybe if Summit carries it (where I bought tis one) they will let me
exchange it.

2) I connected the blue wire (speed sensing wire) directly to the negative
terminal of the coil.  I don't have an MSD box; I think because my "ready to
run" MSD system doesn't use one.

I'll call the Audiovox help line this week to see if they can figure it out.

I'll let you know how it resolves.

Thanks again,

Chris
