cruise control bypass

here is the deal. I have a 77 ranchero. I made a custom dash with all autometer gauges. the old brittle plastic instrument cluster is completely removed.
the cruise control no longer works now. I know about the speed sensor inline on the speedo cable so cruise engauges only after 30mph. I am having trouble finding out where its two(blk and wht)wires even go.

my question is what wires do I need to use/bypass/connect/jump off the stock insrtument cluster connector to have cruise control again? I have ruled out only about 7 of about 12 wires. I am hoping for an easy fix. anybody done this? I started this thread in ranchero econoline but no help yet there.
