Hello all

I've read a number of threads here about installing cruise control on a 280z. Does anyone have any thoughts on which one to go with and pictures of how it looks. I'm interested as I'll be making a fairly long distance drive this summer so I'm doing a bit of planning ahead

Thanks

Jan

The Dana cruise control for about $90 on ebay worked great in my '71 (similar one here http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-Cruise-control-after-market_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem2304c461a5QQitemZ150403834277QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories). I used the magenets on the driveshaft and used a transmission mounting bolt for the sensor so I didn't drill any new holes. All the electronics are contained in the servo unit which I mounted on the passenger side fender inside the engine compartment. I ran the cable to the throttle linkage on the firewall and put the small control module on the center console. It works great and does a great job of holding the set speed. You can also "tap up" or "tap down" to increase or decrease the set speed by pressing buttons on the control module.
