    If it works like the Cruise on my 64... There is a needle on the speedometer that you set for the speed you want. The get it going and push the cruise lever.

    The system uses vacuum to hold the throttle steady and it uses the speedo needle to tell if it needs to speed up or slow down.

    It works well as long as your speedometer doesn't bounce.
