Hey Al, if you haven't already ordered a cruise control setup, you could easily get control box from a pullapart and use it. I'd recommend a silverado/tahoe/yukon of same year or S10/Blazer/Jimmy/Bravada. Either of those will slip right in to your throttle blade, you would need the bracket from a silverado/tahoe/yukon for the cable. The s-series setup cable might be a shorter than the full size version, would have to mount the box on the firewall or somehow hide it behind the intake / trans tunnel. Just needs 12v, VSS, and buttons for the set/decel and accel signals. When I did an LS swap in a blazer the cruise control worked like factory, GM didn't change the VSS signal on the models, 40ppm.

Nice upgrade on the drive shaft, how's it perform? Ride smooth? The cars looking good!

Ok. Been a while again. I received the CV driveshaft and it works great. I managed to put on 4,800 miles this summer. Took it on a 500 mile trip and averaged 22.8 mpg. Zero issues but have a few upgrades I'm doing this winter. I'm adding cruise control and I ordered Classic Auto Air A/C. Adding dash speaker. I put ridetech adjustable shocks on the front. My "rebuilt" steering box was leaking so I replaced it with a OEM grand Cherokee box.

Sorry for the rambling, I just wanted to get the thread up to speed.Attachment 195216

Thanks. I finally got a quote from the Driveshaft Shop and got the CV driveshaft ordered. Get this, he told me 8 weeks. WTF? Hire some people or something. 8 weeks is just not acceptable but I have no other options. I asked if I could just buy the peices to build it myself. Of course I could not. I'm hoping its quicker as its getting cold here in Michigan. I'll post when I receive it.

Glad you guys had good luck with them. We didn't. Wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemy.

Unfortunately they are the only game in town if you want a CV driveshaft.

Is that for a cable TB or DBW?

Works great. Put 4,800 miles on it this summer. I did put ridetech adjustable shocks on the front recently but with snow on the ground I will not test till spring. I also replaced my trimmed rear springs with correct dropped coils.

I rode fine, handled great but I can never leave anything alone.

The cruise control module from an S10 or Silverado is for drive by cable. I can find the schematics I used on the blazer one if you want. This is a pic of my 2000 ls blazer swap before I finished smoothing the truck intake and getting A/C connected. You can see the cruise control cable snaps right on to the throttle blade.

Looks good.

In know this thead is old but I like it. lol
What brand are those shorty headers you are using? they look to fit very well.

[HotWheelz]

Great build! I love your ride there! Always love them old Chevelles!! I love that bench seat!! I want one for my build!!

[Alwhite00]

E bay specials. One very small ding for the steering shaft. If I ever take it apart I'm going to weld the studs in the collector. They have v band ones now. That would be better.

It great to really put some miles on something you worked so hard on building. Awesome build! Also my favorite year Chevelle!

[Alwhite00]

Thanks. I'm in Michigan and planning a color tour to Tennessee the end of October. Getting a few things buttoned up before then. We are looking forward to it

[Alwhite00]

Got back from the color tour. From Michigan to West Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, etc. I did the tail of the dragon with my car and it was awesome. 318 curves in 11 miles. Average mpg was 20.7 lots of hours @ 75mph on the way down & back but much slower once we got down south. 1,728 miles total. Loved every minute. Heres a. Couple pictures on the Dragon.
