68 Cruise Control Switch

The Marketplace '67 '68 Parts for Sale

I’m looking for the on/off switch for the cruise control on a 68 XR7. Not the turn signal push button switch, I have that, but the switch that mounts under the dash below the ignition key that you pull to turn on the cruise control. It has a tiny red light in it that looks like an LED except it was made a couple decades too early to be one. If anyone has one, or knows the part number I’d appreciate it.

Thanks,! :slight_smile:

There’s been a guy on eBay trying to sell one.

I’ve been monitoring eBay and haven’t seen any. Do you have a link?

Thanks,

Sorry I don’t. I tend to blow right by it since I don’t need one.

What’s a good time to call? My Murphy’s Law luck has been that I get no answer when I call you. If you see a 303 area code call, it’s probably me.

Thanks,

Speed control parts are now worth more than gold ounce for ounce!

I’m the guy on eBay with the switch. I am working on installing Speed Control on my 67 Mustang and I picked up a complete Cougar system back in the 90s. I have also been collecting Speed Control parts for over 30 years until I found the ‘perfect car’. Now that I have the car, I’m selling off the parts I don’t need.

I’m the_cat_reaper on eBay.

I can use the servo (bellows) unit, but really, that’s about it. I have the control head (without bracket), wiring (sold), turn signal and knob on eBay. I also have a few spare bellows that I’m selling along with a mixed lot of misc Lincoln and T-bird hardware. I am hanging on to the speedo cables just in case I need them.

I agree, they are expensive, but I’m facing something even more ridiculous–I have an early model 67, so I have to use the Curtis Wright system. Talk about expensive!!!

I have everything I need for the 67 CW system except… you guessed it, the bracket that holds the control unit to the firewall. I should be able to make one, but I would like to have an original or be able to make a template from an original.

I would be wiling to trade any of my 68 parts for 67 parts!

You are in the murky area of early Cougar/Mustang speed control. The G prototype mule given to AO Smith was a 67 that has the CW unit attached between the shock tower supports. I had a member of one of my Ford clubs who had a 67 Mustang built early Sept 66 with the CW also. Then you see Cougar 1 that has to be the earliest and it has the Perfect Circle servo and newer turn signal stalk??? I’ve never been able to find a good explanation why and when the CW was used. It was used on early 67 Thunderbird/Lincoln also. Hang on to cables from the trans because it has a slightly larger diameter driven wire that the servo requires.

I have this speed control part for sale on eBay. I got with the cruise components for my 1969, and obviously it is not applicable. It is rare and limited to the early production ( Curtiss-Wright ). It wasn’t used on the later ( Dana ) Perfect Circle version. Not sure if it was also used on the T-BIrds and Lincolns of that period. eBay listing # : 273 899 188 170

The above solenoid (valve) mounts to the top of the Curtiss-Wright servo unit. Usually when you can find a used unit like this the hose nipples are broke off.
