Cruise control?

-
I salvaged a couple at the local pick & pull. One from a truck and one from new Yorker, both in the 80s.

It’s pretty easy if you have a speedo with a push on connector. The turn signal stalk needs to be one from the 60d or 70s, the 80s are different.

I can take pictures if you want.
 
I picked these two factory cruise control stailks at a junkyard years ago. The bottom one was the rotary control type found on 69 or so B and C bodies. The top one was the slider control that I pirated from a 73/74 A body

I cut the theeaded part of the handle iff and added the end so it wiuld work with a 65 Coronet turn signal switch. I later found a NOS B body one. If I can find out how the multifunction turn signal handle on ny 80 M body is removed, i may use the NOS one if it’s the same

The rotary type go for big bucks on eBay!
 
I've forgotten, was it Dana? used to market an add on CC completely aftermarket. The only downside was the CS you had to attach a magnet to your driveshaft and put a pickup down there for it. I could see that as a problem, specially in snow country
That is exactly what I had in our first 67 fish. I pulled it from a trade in while working in used cars. Amazes us every day how we can recover and what triggers memories. Still don't know what i paid for what I have but, my wife has been working at clearing our closet, what goes to shop rags and what to goodwill. Late late evening she calls me to come and bring a utility razor. Next, "What's in that box on the bed?" Lo and behold here it is. She in the walk in closet again. Me, "Wow baby doll, Wanna go on a cruise?" with a laugh she said sure if that's a box of money. She snapped 3 pics with her cell b4 we retired. Thinking I'll let it go since Ill never use it.
 
I’ve got a couple of servos but with the washer bottle in an early A making space limited, the electronic unit might make more sense
I had the same conflict in the 67 A-body. I gave up the washer bottle. My wiper switch had push to wash function but that switch didn't rotate to low speed when pushed like the later models. Still had to turn it to low and clear the view. I used a scotch lock connector at the bulk head connectors to attach the wash pump wire to motors low speed wire. So now I have a intermittent wiper. One push gets one sweep and back to home/park. I though I might ad back some alternative window wash somewhere, even in the trunk, but never did.
 
We didn't take the wand from its package for photo. It's like the upper in the pic from 65 Dartman above.
 
We managed to move 2 of 3 pics from cell to laptop. Lost one somehow. Didn't de-coil the long cable to measure. I know the short cable is 14 to 16" long. Not gonna work in a different application.

I had a junk turn signal switch I cut off. Uses a magnet zip tied to the driveshaft for a pickup.
