Lines: 13 Just for the record, I had a cruise control that used an ignition coil pick-up in an automatic transmission car, and the tourque converter had no lock-up clutch like many new cars, and the results were entirely acceptable. the speeed of my car varied a couple of miles per hour, but it was really no big deal. I learned to set the highest desired speed on the downhill sections of highway, and away I went. -- Dan Remember: " Buffalo never Oink " Seen on a South Dakota travel brocure.
