N88 E body Speed/Cruise Control System

[Rrod]

Yes you are correct. I had my cables mixed up. What I need is the cruise control actuator cable which connects the cruise control servo to the carb linkage. Part number 3462371 is what the parts book list for 70 Challenger with a big block.  Do anyone know the length of this cable?  Obviously a shorter one would not work but maybe a slightly longer one would.

You should be able to use one off a C body or even a later model B,F or even some trucks....

Shoot fc7cuda {Tom} a PM he's got a few NOS Big block servo cables in his stash...

I still have several cables and other misc cruise parts, PM me you email and I'll send you some pics.

Thanks
Tom

Thanks for the shout out Colin, I'm glad the parts worked out well for you.

It's been a while and it's time for some progress pics of my project.. Here's the deal... My car was originally equipped with N88... It did NOT have a 6bbl.. ... So I wanted the best of both worlds..
I've been lucky enough to find most all NOS components for the system.. Servo, upper and lower speedo cables, brake switch,lost motion link, and even the master cylinder bracket.. I've been finishing it up as time allows and it's now a functioning system..Here's the system in it's current state..

 How ??? Obviously the 6bbl's center carb doesn't have the provisions for speed control and I didn't want to modify an original 70 carb to get it done..So I fabricated a bracket that bolts on using the carb's throttle stud giving me the hole for the lost motion link..A 4bbl thermoquad donated it's throttle lever for the needed section...I zinc plated and polished the part for some eye candy...Here's the bracket and another pic with the lost motion link installed..

And here's the finished linkage..My fabbed bracket and all NOS parts including the adapter bracket for the throttle linkage...

[screamindriver]

Here's the detail of the servo..The bracket is original to the car..NOS servo and I reused my original wiring to get the correct tracers that wouldn't have been in a repop offering.. The servo diaphragm cover came in a yellow zinc dicromate and I had it replated in a clear zinc ..And I polished the vent cover for a little more eye candy...

The hardest part of the system for me to find was the "lower" speedo cable that goes from the servo to the trans..I did end up finding an NOS part..I've included a pic of the package to show how it has a superseded part number that might help someone in the future..Tom, you'll see this one was also scripted with "stewart warner" on the cable..

The stalk went back together nicely with no surprises...Just an FYI, the original stalk was in fact nickel plated and cleaned up perfectly {and of course I can't find the assy pics at the moment}... It looks right at home in there and it's been quite a while since it was on the car..

Interesting that yours is nickel plated, I've worked on easily a dozen N88 equipped E bodies & they are normally satin argent silver... B & C bodies are nickel or chrome plated...   

Also FWIW my old Sixpack had the little tab for the lost motion link mount... I have no idea why but it did....

Cool your got it all back together...

Thanks Randy, I'm happy with the results.. I stumbled on the nickel stalk plating by accident...I was actually going to prep it for paint and by luck had seen it buff the finish while I was wiping it down..So the line I originally though was a paint line was a plating line..

Great thread.

Is this the correct E-body servo bracket?

[anlauto]

Yea it looks right in my opinion
