[DeTomaso] More cruise control issues

[Larry - Ohio Time Corp]

Reminds me of a story. I had a salesman one time that was a very very picky
type person. He was driving his T-bird 78? (last of the big ones) on the
freeway at 75 MPH with the cruse on. He heard some noise that he thought was
coming from the new belts that were just installed.

He popped the auto trans. into neutral to see if the noise changed. Well it
changed alright, to a very big knocking sound...

Which also serves to ensure the cruise doesn't try to rev the engine to
maintain speed if you dip the clutch. Ideally on a manual transmission car
the clutch should have a cruise cut out switch as well or you may be able to
do some fabrication that locates the brake cut out switch between the two
pedals to do dual duty.
