Ebay, for one of these:

and perhaps one of these as well:

Here they are as a pair:

If you're going to keep this car for any length of time, these are well worth the investment.

Sorry, but this happens a lot and the only explanation I can come up with is that people have too much money. In that case, I'll provide my mailing address.
By the way, the Electrical Troubleshooting Manual has the troubleshooting info for the cruise control.

A couple easy checks under the dash...
Look at the thin ribbon cable coming from the steering column switch to the control module. It can burn out at the connector between the two.
Also check to see if the plunger at the brake pedal holds vacuum. Brake depressed, vacuum should be depleted.
The electronic control unit is fairly robust.
I would suspect the two items above (since I have seen those fail), and if they look good, the servo under the hood may not be holding vacuum due to cracked rubber bellows or defective valves. In fact, check the bellows first as it is easiest.
If you plan on keeping this car a while, a service manual is highly recommended. The GM one preferred, or a Haynes in last resort. Never a Chiltons though.
