I replaced the original Rostra cruise control a few years back with an Audiovox that was vacuum operated and got its speed signal from a magnetic pickup on the drive shaft. It has been giving my intermittent failures, so time to do something.

So I bought a new Rostra 250-1223 Universal Electronic Cruise. No vacuum required. Works off the VSS signal from the Allison 2000. Set the pulses per mile to 18,000 and we now have cruise.

Also found a leak in the a/c lines for the dash air, so life in the Barth is good again. Working cruise and cool air is really great.

A cruise control is on my list, but I have a gas 454 so is a vacuum unit my only option, looks like the one I have is an after market unit.

The Rostra works on gas also. Also will work on magnetic pickup.

Gary, does it work with an engine without a computer?? Do they have a web site?

Found their website and yes they have a model that does not need the computer even the I think its called a vss. better than the Vacuum type for sure. Now all I need is money ..Thanks

You can get an aftermarket cruise from Dakota digital. Needs no vacuum. Not too pricey.
