[DeTomaso] Cruise Control on your Pantera?

[R.J]

I installed my first cruise control in a Pantera 25 years ago. At the 
meeting in Modena in 1996 many US guys told me, i'm crazy to put 
something like this in a Pantera.
I would never drive any car on a longer distance w/o a cruise control. 
Ther trick was the speed sensor in the Pantera. It was donated by a Ford 
Fieasta and was a bolt in betwen the speedo gear and the cable. Some 
cuise controls just take the tach signal. I found on my Longchamp, that 
it doesn't work with the  signal with the MSD 8920 module. So i had to 
find an electronic speed sensor for the AOD box in the car. It works 
successful since i installed it.

   A few years ago I asked the question on this forum regarding who had
   successfully installed Cruise Control on their Pantera. Every year we
   take the car on at least one rather long road trip that involves hours
   and hours and hours of highway droning, and I'd be interested in having
   one to make those trips a little more bearable. There is the added
   advantage that with ever-stricter and ever more expensive speed limit
   enforcement, I can avoid accidently having my speed creep up and
   getting an expensive souvenir while on vacation. This year we'll be
   taking the Pantera on a little jaunt from Spain to Sweden and back for
   example.


   In the past, a number of people mentioned that they were happy with an
   Audivox CCS-100 unit. I bought one about 5 years ago and installed it
   but could never get it to work. The self-check lights all indicated
   that it was installed correctly, but it never did operate. I decided
   that either I had a defective unit or it wasn't strong enough to pull
   against the double throttle return springs I have installed and let it
   slide.


   I'm thinking about tackling the subject again and am wondering what the
   latest and greatest product is? What have people successfully installed
   and what are people happy with? Do you have double throttle return
   springs?


   Thanks all!
