Look down through this forum at all the posts that are around a week old. There was a pretty large thread on just this subject.

If I knew where Douglasville was I might be able to help you. I have a Rotunda cruise control tester.

Cruise control is a GM term. Speed control is a Ford term. Use the Ford term in your search also. Could be the servo. Make sure you have a good vacuum source going to it. Also sometimes the gears get all cattywompus inside the servo. You may need to take it apart inspect it and clean/grease everything back up.
