Pull it off and put it on the shelf. Save on it for another time. It will also reduce weight by removing it. Want to maximize mpg:bleh::happy175:

The older cruise control setups get their speed reading from the speedo cable. The mechanical type is inline on the cable and the electronic type in the 80's used the VSS on the back of the speedo. So with both types, if the speedo cable isn't turning to drive the speedo, the cruise won't work either.

If i pull the cable off at the trans and spin it with the drill it should spin the speedo correct?

It has a new lower cable but it dont work. Im tryin to determine if its the gears or somewhere else
Is your adapter broken? Mine snapped off and that's what kept my be from working. I just screwed into the transfer case. It's 30% low now untill I get a new adapter.

Those old school Heartbeat valve covers are cool but not worth that price.

The mods may not allow this based on posting rules...LOL.

I only paid a little more than that for these for my boat motor.
Price included the extra tall covers and engraving which was my own design.



That is one pretty Boat Motor, What does the boat look like?

There is a set of bbc m/t covers that I have. Traded the sbc set years ago. Don't have a big block any more so this one's going away soon.
You must be registered for see images attach

@yevgenievich How much to have you send those to my house as I have a couple of big blocks that would look good under them...
