[DeTomaso] Cruise Control Again

[Charles McCall]

Hi Jim,

No, I never did try it with one spring. To make a long story short, the
system became partially disconnected before I could experiment with it more.
But if you had to remove a spring, it perhaps confirms my suspicion that the
problem is the double-spring. 

The test lamps indicated that it was wired correctly, so I assumed that
either a) it was defective or b) it didn't have enough strength to pull the
throttle actuator.

Charles,

Di dyou ever try the Audiovox system with only one return spring?  I had to
remove one on my car to get it to work correctly.

Does anyone have any firsthand experience with this device:

These Rostra Global cruise controls kits are designed to work on engines
that have a high-duration camshaft. They do not require vacuum to operate,
making them great additions to street rods or musclecars. The kits include a
fully programmable electronic cruise control module and detailed
installation guides. The cruise controls feature set speed, tap up/tap down
(1 mph per tap), coast/reduce speed, resume/accelerate, and controlled
resume rate.



I'm wondering if the problem with my Audiovox unit, which I could never get
to work, was due to insufficient vaccuum (I have a healthy cam) and double
throttle return springs. 



Anyone have one installed?
