cruise control

Rostra is the way to go. (or a Dakota Digital, same thing) If you get the kit with a GM handle, it will look stock in your car. No vacuum needed. I had one in my Javelin and it works great. Get the kit with a GM handle and GM trans as the speed signal generator will screw right on to your 727 or 904.

Here's the DD kit you would need. http://www.dakotadigital.com/index.cfm/page/ptype=product/product_id=46/category_id=477/mode=prod/prd46.htm

The magnets just activate a VSS. Most aftermarket cruise controls now use the VSS in the car. Doesn't help us with older vehicles! Some have a magnet kit or an alternate VSS that can be ordered separately. I think the CC in my Classic has gone bad and I need to get another, but want to try changing the signal generator first. I've had 2-3 that had magnets and never a problem with them. The Rostra units look good, but $280-300 to complete. The $199 "kit" doesn't have a switch or speed sensor. $40-50 for a switch, another $40-50 for a speed sensor. Rostra can use a crew in type sensor or magnets. Needs a pulse divider for some of the newer vehicles to use the stock VSS, which is about $70. That vacuum unit posted above looks like it has a dash switch instead of a stalk type. I wanted to keep my stalk switch, but may have to change it for the money. I wonder if the Rostra will use my Audivox (at least I think that's what it is) switch?

You have the wrong sensor. You need the pass thru unit SEN-01-4160 like this http://www.dakotadigital.com/index.cfm/page/ptype=product/product_id=57/category_id=478/mode=prod/prd57.htm
This will screw right on and allow you hook your cable to it. No need to remove your adapter from the trans.

OK, maybe I am dense (well that is an understatement) but I do not see where anything screws in.  The cable is held in by a retaining ring and the whole assembly is held in by a retainer not screwed in.  What am I not seeing.

I thought of that too but the directions clearly inentify the threaded connector on the tranny as the mounting point.  The cable snaps onto the speedo at the cluster and does not screw on.  Besides, the speedo is flush against the AC duct so there would be no room to mount the pulse generator.  Guess I may have to go with magnets but have an email into DD and will call tomorrow if I don't hear anything.  Thanks
