70's cruise control questions

[71dusterdan]

I am looking for a way to add cruise to my 71Duster. Did the mid to late 70's E58 cars have cruise available? Is that cruise compatible with a manual trans? Does anybody have a pic, and or schematics for that set up? Are there better options to put a cruise on a TQ equipped, manually shifted smallblock. 71 Duster if that info is needed. Thanks

if you use the entire setup you can make it work.

There are aftermarket units that are not too hard to install. A magnet is zip tied to the drive shaft, cancel switch added to clutch, brake circuit, vacuum dash pot with cable under hood. Turn signal mounted stalk for normal controls. I think I have a few around, but would need to test due to age.

I had one of those magnets ziptied to my drive shaft and a whole mess of junk that went with it.

It was the very first thing to get pulled off my car..

I added the cruise control from a 1970 new yorker to my 72 Dart back in the day , pretty simple , but mine was automatic

The cruise setup from a 70's Dodge Truck (pretty common) bolts right in to an A-Body and looks factory
