The original one was Bendix. When it stopped working a shop installed a Cruise King. It worked great until I blew the engine. After I had a rebuilt 8V92 installed they said they couldn’t get it to work. The mechanic that installed the Cruise King no longer worked for them. So they said that the control box had gotten damaged when the engine blew. I found a new Cruise King on the internet, they couldn’t make it work and gave up. New shop tried to install a cruise GC univ domestic, Global Cruise. No luck!

Sounds to me like they do not want to mess with it, but who knows. It should not be that hard to get it working. Is this a mechanical 8v92, if its original to 84 I would say most likely its a mechanical engine. Not sure how blowing the engine would damage the cruise control, unless somehow heat got to the unit possibly. Again sounds like they are not interested in making this work. The cruise for a mechanical engine is a stand alone system for the most part, they sometime will have a speed sensor but that's about it. Not too much to go wrong other than the brain box and maybe the switches.
