cruise control
Does anyone have a picture of how they mounted their cruise control to an aftermarket manifold? I can't for the life of me figure out how to put it on.... I took it off 8 years ago.

What kind of Cruise Control? Is it OEM or aftermarket? Maybe a picture ???
I ask because I've never seen a OEM one in the flesh, but I have a Sears sold one that I installed in the late '80s, I think it was made by Dana. I had one just like it on my '67 Chevelle SS with the 396 and later with the 454 Tri Power. On my '77 the part that pulls the throttle is a cable, the diaphragm part mounts to the firewall with just one bolt on back. The brain is under my dash and it will disengage with a tap of the brake pedal as it has it's own switch with a chain to a bracket on the firewall that opens vacuum and cuts power to brain.
On that Chevelle, the switch had a pulley like thing I attached at firewall and a ball chain ran from switch lever to firewall and back to clutch so tapping either brake or clutch killed it.

Hopefully this helps. As far as physically bolting the servo on is has to bolts that go in the intake manifold and one on the back of the cylinder head. For some reason I had to put some spacers on the intake to get the cylinder head hole to line up. I just used oversize nuts as spacers. My 460 has an edelbrock performer intake and the servo/bracket was off a 77 lincoln mark v.
