Does anyone have pictures of an original/restored underhood setup for 1969 Cutlass/442/Hurst? I have the assembly manual so I know the installation - I'm looking for the finishes specifically (i.e. which parts were plated, natural, painted, etc.). I know it's a long shot as I don't think many came with cruise. TIA.

I knew that was a long shot!

Would it help to see what an OEM cruise would look like from 72? I can probably dig it out of the shed for pics in the next day or 2. I don't know if the modulator or mounting bracket was the same in 69 as 72, but I'd be happy to dig it out and photo it for you.
This is exactly how it came in this box. It has not been installed and all the parts will be as they were from the factory:

Thanks Allan! The '69 used a different style vacuum pull diaphragm but the natural aluminum finish of the one you've pictured leads me to believe it should have that type of finish and not a plated-type of finish. I appreciate it .

No problem, I'll try to get them posted by Tuesday, ok? Gotta drudge through the snow to get them. BTW the modulator seems to be a natural cast color; the cruise decal on this one is gold instead of blue for some reason, but they are OEM. I'll post them on this thread so everyone can have access to them.
