cruise control

Ready to get my cruise control working now, and to my surprise, the Haynes manual has nothing on it. It says "Due to the complexity of the blah blaf blah.....check your vacuum lines.

Can anybody tell me where to start looking. The fuse is good, and the linkage seems to be right, although I have nothing to check it against.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

torp

Excellent. Where can I find one of these Mitchell manuals? Trying to put this old girl back on track one piece at a time, and this is one of those factory options I would like to get working.

Mitchell caters to the professional shops and their sales poeple come to us so I'm not sure how to tell you to where to find one. They are not priced for the one time fix it job. If you came in my place I would let you copy the necessary info. Maybe someone in your town would do the same. Call the public library and ask what they have. They may be just as good or better.
