16v cruise control install complete



finished it yesterday. i took some pics for a tech write up--anyone with a 
good tech site (patrick, .org?) want to mirror it when done? here's a teaser 
view of the engine bay:

you can see the vacuum servo that i ended up bolting to the intake manifold; 
the vacuum pump is in the rain gutter (with the plastic removed, obviously) 
on the upper right.  took me about 7-8 hours from start to finish. much of 
that was tweaking where to mount things, how to best activate the throttle, 
and redoing a few things. hopefully the write up will cut that time in half 
for someone else attempting to do it.  initial impressions- feels like a 16 
yo driving the car. constantly slowing down, speeding up to keep the speed 
accurate. but it works. for long flat stretches (cincy?) i think it will be 
great.
