But your plans for the car are great - I love that Nordic Blue!
What did you have to do to the cruise? I am slowly obtaining a cruise set piece by piece and I know it will not work without a lot of massaging.
Get some pics posted when she gets back from the paint shop!

Thanks, I like that color too! looks the best on Oldsmobiles IMO.
The cruise actually wasn't that hard after I figured it out, but what happens inside the transducer is rocket science to me.
The chassis service manual walks you through diagnosis and I could even understand it. I replaced the transducer, all the lines, the servo was cracked and dry rotted, had a leaking brake release switch, and the turn signal stalk was cracked so I did that too, those things are hard to find. About the only thing left is the special brake and dash switches and the speedo cables. The most common problem is vacuum leaks, the servo has to be sealed well to the end plates on a '71, remember to put the spring inside before you put sealer on the ends and put it all back together.
What cruise parts are you still looking for ?
