I’d like to understand the stock cruise control system in the facelift cars but I’m not finding it in searches or owner’s manual, although I haven’t found a later 74-75 owner’s manual. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
Cruise control info?

CC was an option?

My '74 doesn't have cruise control, other than a steady right foot...
Cruise control... You mean idle screws on carbs? Yeah we all got those.
Alan has an aftermarket Allstate system I think.
"Hey Ron, who's driving?"
"It's okay. It's on cruise control."

CC was a popular aftermarket option in the late 1970s, IIRC there were several on the market. Gotta dig out the old Roundels.

Most definitely aftermarket, Germans wouldn't call it such a name. Might be tough to identify a fault. Maybe you should just re-label it "Ejection Seat" instead.
OMG that’s a lot of bits and pieces spliced into several places, I don’t recall seeing any of those pieces so someone probably uninstalled the system. Funny they would leave that control button, maybe didn’t want to leave a hole in the under dash panel. Interesting read Chis, thanks for the link.
I had something similar in my 74 2002 until the throttle stuck at 70 on 395 heading to Mammoth back in the 70s.
