Comments on 16v vs. 8v Cruise Control

["RoccoPhil" <roccophil@mindspring.com>]

For the few that have followed this thread, wondering when I'd just let it
go...

Checking ETKA, it seems that the CC systems share a number of parts in
common.  The exception is the linkage mechanism for the throttle bodies.
Quite different between 16v & 8v.

The parts that look to be similar are:

Vacuum pump (engine compartment)
Control Box (under pass dash)
Vent valves (above brake/clutch levers)
Inductive sender for CC (back of instrument cluster)
Vacuum hose & wiring (duh)
2 "Y" connectors

Parts that are model-specific are:

Servo vacuum & linkage (atop valvecover on 8v & behind head on 16v - bitch!)
Bracketry (new word!) to mount & implement the servos


That's about it.  Wiring harnesses for each (which I assume are different)
are probably the biggest pain to claim.  ETKA doesn't happen to show these
(maybe, somewhere on another page I care not to look for).

Hope that helps anyone who may be curious about CC.
