Dentside Cruise Control

[Mil1ion]

Well I have everything but the speedo cable/sensor and the special brake pedal stamped MA.
I might have the Brake switch as well

You must have a Vacuum reservoir as well

D7TZ-2455-D .. Brake Pedal / Stamped: D7TA-2455-MA.

Use with factory installed Cruise Control: 1977/78 F100/350 & 1979 F100/350 before serial number DJ0,001 / 1978 Bronco & 1979 Bronco before 11/1/1978.

The brake pedal should be relatively EZ to find, but...

Some of the specific CC parts are 1977 F250 4WD only! Part time or full time 4WD also makes a difference.

Where will Ben find all these parts? And since most will be used, how will he know if they're any good?

IMO, instead of going thru the costly and labor intensive method of installing the original CC setup, go with the universal Throttle Control Kit Ford offered in the 1960's/70's.

This kit will fit ANYTHING, it bolts under the dash, has a cable that controls the acc pedal, and a device that de-activates the system when the brake pedal is activated.

I'd be willing to bet, that NO ONE here on FTF (including you) or on t'other site has any knowledge that Ford ever offered such a thing.

I've installed the kits on 1963/64 Galaxies, 1965 & 1971 F100's and a coupla 1955/56 Packards. Now all I need to do is...dig up the part number.

This kit was once very common, dealers carried it, could be found at a gazillion swap meets...but most people had no clue what the kit was.

Yes I do Bill IIRC, they used it on the last 60's mustang

Made by Perfect Circle

9A818 is the base number

with C7ZZ in front

Yes I do Bill ( No you don't Dennis!). IIRC they used it on the last 60's mustang

Made by Perfect Circle 9A818 is the base number with C7ZZ in front and a B suffix!

1967 Muskrat/Cougar 289/390 with A/T.

Not the same kit, kiddo. 9A818 is the basic part number for dealer installed Electronic Cruise Control kits.

For example: E2AZ-9A818-A (replaced D4AZ-9A818-A, D4AZ-9A818-B, D9AZ-9A818-A) .. Dealer Installed CC Installation Kit: 1974/82 Passenger Cars & F100/350's / 1978/82 Bronco & 1975/82 Econoline.

I'm way ahead of you kiddo, cuz I looked this kit up 30 minutes ago, but there are two other kits required for F100/350's & Bronco's: Speedo Cable Kit (9A820), Vacuum Reservoir Kit (9A799).

The throttle control kit was self contained, was manually operated and took 10 minutes to install...and the basic part number was not 9A818!

RHD 1979 Ford F100 Custom XLT LWB (LongBed) 4x4 with a 351 Cleveland engine and a c6

hi guys im new here and im from Australia ;}
i own a RHD 1979 Ford F100 Custom XLT LWB (LongBed) 4x4 with a 351 Cleveland engine and a c6 colum Auto and i would like to add Cruise control to it.. let me point out that Cruise control was not an option for australian F-Series Trucks in 1979 as far as i know..

so i need to know whats to buy and where to buy + part numbers and that will ship to australia

any help would be great...

 

[Beach66Bum]

just finished reading all the posts on adding cruise control and I came to the conclusion that my clothes rod works just fine holding down the gas pedal.



What, like you haven't done that

1st,
Chevy calls it "Cruise Control"
Ford calls it "Speed Control"

I've always called it speed control because that's what the
manufacturer of my speed control called it in 1976 when I
bought it from Sears for $79, made by Dana...

And it's still in there working...

I threaded the holes through the throttle-shaft-crank...

No big deal.

hi sorry i should have been more clear i want to add factory speed control to my RHD 1979 Ford F100 Custom XLT LWB (LongBed) 4x4 with a 351 Cleveland engine and a c6 colum Auto ;}

cause if something goes wrong i still want to be able to buy replacment parts from what ive been reading in here is that after market onse of dealer installs offer no support for parts.. is that correct?

 

[Mil1ion]

I will have to know the last 6 digits of your VIN#

I have almost 2 complete systems

Look higher up the thread to see my photos of all the parts of a conversion list (post #14) of all items required

I thought the 351C was obsolete for cars down under and the trucks never got 351C's ?
maybe you have a 351M
