Dakota Digital Cruise Control?
So i decided after having looked down while cruising a new section of smooth road and finding myself in excess of 90mph that i want to put cruise back on my car.
I no longer have the factory cruise parts, its all gone.
Im looking at going with a dakota digital setup, i believe this is the one i need

does that look correct? does anyone have one?
ideas on brackets and such to attach it to my holley?

Re: Dakota Digital Cruise Control?
I have been thinking of installing the Dakota Digital set-up on my first-gen but have not been able to talk to anyone who has used their equipment. It looks like a complete package but I'm hesitant to spend the time and money without hearing from people who have tried it.

Re: Dakota Digital Cruise Control?
some closure on this, contacted dakota digital today and was informed it may work but i would be operating at the max pulse per mile the unit can read, and may need an adapter box for the additional $80 or so.
i then learned that the t56 vss is 17 pulses per rev, and doing the math to find ppm from tire rollout backwards i came to a little over 48000 pulses per mile. based on the following
245/60/15 tire = 26.6in diameter = 83.5in rollout/circumference = 759 axle revs/mile X 3.73 rear gear = 2831 driveshaft revs/mile X 17 pules/rev = 48128.xx pulses per mile.
the unit is listed to work up 40,000 pulses per mile, so that tells me its gonna require that extra conversion box for another $80 so..........not sure if im going to pursue this or not
