My edelbrock intake for my 460 had the mounting holes tapped for the cruise servo. My bracket also bolts the the back of the cylinder head if I remember correctly. I had to add some oversize nuts as spacers to get my bracket to line up with the back cylinder head hole. Possibly need a throttle return spring bracket that I am missing. But spacers worked fine.
I would think the performer intake for a 351m or 400 would also have the right holes for a ford servo bracket.
If you have the red and blue connectors they should go through the firewall to the amplifier module, a black box mounted behind instrument cluster.

Reviving this thread because I have been unable to find either of the two styles of throttle linkage attachments for the cruise servo chain. There is one that attaches directly to the carb throttle linkage and this one pictured here that is part of the cable itself. Anyone got any leads on this? My truck is a 79 with factory cruise, but the cable does not have the piece on the end. Just a ball clip. And I have the cable, not the rod. I'd take the plastic piece on the carb itself, but am guessing that is harder to come by and makes it more difficult for upgrades later.
Well, that quickly I think i figured it out. Looks like either the wrong, or optional cable on mine. The ends are different where this piece would clip on to. Mine is a simple ball clip, others seem to have an elongated barrel shape with a pin on the end to locate the clip.

Thanks. I'll get one and see if it will work with my style cable. Worse case, I can get a new cable with the different end. Prior, I had only seen the throttle lever adapter, and it's impossible to find. I thought this attachment was like the much newer cables where it's made on to the end. I see now it's a separate clip.
Before I found the plastic throttle connector in a junkyard my old one was broken and I just used wire to attach. They might be pretty tough to find but look in vans or cars with carburetors. I havent found any reproductions.
I found a few on ebay that looked right. Some had the clip that went through both sides like this one pictured, (i just need to make a clip) or some had the clip molded into the plastic. I figured the one that uses a clip for cable attachment gives me the best chance of getting it to work. Thanks for all the insight, been looking for a while a post elsewhere got me going again.
Thanks again. I should have gone and looked my cable was just right for the clip. Had the little nub on the end and all. Got the clip I pictured before and it fits great. May find a stiff piece of plastic I can slit over the cable to help support it all, but as you can see the piece referenced elsewhere that attaches to the carb linkage wouldn't work with this carb.
Hi All. I have a 1979 Bronco that did not come with cruise control, but I want to add it. Coincidentally, I was replacing the brake booster and I saw that their was two different boosters available, one for a Bronco with cruise control and one without. Just curious, why would it take different booster? I actually went down to Autozone to look at both of them and they look identical? Thanks...Larry
Doesn't need a reservoir, I tried one, damn thing jumps in passing gear under load as it has plenty vacuum then. Only use it on light cruising, so I removed the reservoir from line (though it's still laying there, this picture was before I changed brakes) and been happy. Mine was self installed, used a Sears kit bought at a Sears surplus store, but it has DANA embossed on it. I use two buttons and a toggle to operate it, magnet pick up between transfedr case and the rear driveshaft support bearing. Has a vacuum break switch that also kills powere via ball chain to brake pedel. I had one in my '67 Chevelle, but then the brake ball chain looped through a plastic guide on the firewall and hooked to the clutch too, so pressing either would deactivate the cruise. Cruise works great. Ejngine is cleaner now, has different booster / MC to. Newer Duraspark, OEM finally quit in about 2013 too

you should have seen that the ends of the rods at the pedal are different shapes. It’s not critical but I believe it’s to orient or actuate the secondary cruise disengage switch.
