This applies to 70 and newer cars
1968-9 cruise control is much different as there is a vacuum throttle release switch vs the electric throttle release switch.

Cruise control was a dealer installed option starting in 1970. Section 8 in the factory service manual.

There were kits to fit the various body styles. I have never seen 69 and back cruise kits but that does not mean they don't exist.

All mopars from 70-80 are wired to accept cruise control. Plug and play. It's not hard to piece together a system and it works well, taking the drudgery out of driving old iron.

There is at least one six pak car with factory type cruise control besides my former six pak car with owner installed factory cruise.

This is correct including the hole in the throttle linkage for the lost motion link pivot pin. One difference from most factory set ups is a pivot pin with a clip retainer was used vs a roll pin as seen on 99% of installations.

I can't remember where this pic was taken. The intake looks like cast iron...

Didn't Mopar call it "Speed Control"?

I dug up a servo bracket for a 3rd gen B-body. and I don't see why it would not work in E-body applications .
Considering just how hard cruise parts are to find. It might be an easier / cheaper alternative to the E-body specific parts.

Anyone ever tried?

E-body on the left
71-72 B-body in the middle
68-70 B-body on the right

So this is a 68-70 B body bracket? I've always wondered.


Too bad cruise didn't come on 4 speed cars. I've probably got an entire setup for my 70 Roadrunner now that I know what this is for.

Thanks!

How about this one? Anyone know what mopars this goes to?

Here's a pic showing the other hole. It's between the brace and the inner fender. As you can see, it wouldn't work very well to move it closer to the other two holes. As it is, it's a little difficult to get a nut on there. I put the nut on the wrench and hold it in position, and then thread the bolt into it.

I just measured these angles for someone, and thought I'd post this here incase it helps anyone else.

Tav,
On the 3rd gen B-body bracket, you are correct. The 2 outer holes are in the exact same spot as the E-body bracket.
Also,,,,The E-body bracket is actually maybe 3/4" of an inch longer on the upper plate portion of the bracket. So modifying it for use on an E-body would be super simple, although I personally don't think it's necassary.

When I removed the E-bracket off the car I parted out, I don't remember taking any nuts off from the bottom( several years back so anything is possibile )

The 71-72 B-body bracket was just removed this past week. And it had studs sticking up thru the inner fender with captive washer nuts holding it on. Next time, I'll ck from beneath to see how it attaches

thought i would add some to this subject. i took the speed control parts off a 71 or 72 Chrysler(been 27 years)and put it on my 70 Challenger. the speed control bracket bolted in the same spot on inner fender(had to drill out little dimples in panel) bent the lever a little to angle it back,it seemed to be the same length as the standard one. everything just snapped together and worked fine.

There are some cruise control parts in the ebody for sale section.....

Thanks Nick!

Tav, #2 is C-body

Cool, any idea roughly what years of C body?
