=>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:
=>http://www.learnlink.emory.edu/~mabatzi/cruise/cruisecontrol%20029.jpg
=>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.
