Original or aftermarket cruise?

[MJF]

My -73 T&C does not have cruise, but I'd like to have it. I have no experience how good and accurate those 70s cruises are. Should I find original parts or is aftermarket cruises easier or better? I both cases, I'd use Mopar original cruise switch in turn signal lever.

I've salvaged Chrysler speed controls and installed them in several cars. The trick is to get ALL the pieces from one car.

They work well... Probably close to a new car for functionality. Use your service manual for adjustments etc. and you'll be happy.

If I get down there this winter, I will do that!

You have to set it at 75 to settle in on 70.
Yes, I know you can tweak the small screw but that's after all the tweaking.

So votes goes for original setup. Is there differences between early 70s or late 70s/80s cruises? Parts should be somewhat easy to find from Aspen here.

I need vacuum canister with throttle cable, speedo cables, brake switch, cruise switch and wiring for these. What else?

I will be watching this thread with interest since I've been thinking of reinstalling the cruise on the Monaco.

Anyone? Found 1980 Aspen for donor. Will take intermittent wipers too.

All of the main parts interchange, the only thing to be careful of is in 1981 the cruise wiring was made into the main harness. find a 1979 or older car for the wiring.
