Questions on wipers and cruise control

[Nacho-RT74]

in my case not because the age LOL ( I'm 36 YO ), but comfort living on a tropical country. More important down the rain.

I still haven't mounted the cruise on mine yet, but soon. I already have the related parts and hoping the servo is good. Will be gratefull give a rest to my knee ( I already have had knee surgeries )

cruise control on a muscle car??   

why not ?

same as AC... why not ?

drive it for 8 hours and will thank the Cruise Control and AC features

8 hours?  It's not my daily driver, just my toy. I'm on the go peddle non stop.

I have driven it even 12 hours from my city to another city.

One of the most useful mods I've done to the Charger.
Not cheap, but it works well.

How difficult is it to install the Hella wiper delay? Do I have to o a lot of cuting and splicing or is it a plu-and-play solution?

It's a piece of cake.
It works in parallel with the existing wiper circuit so you can use either one or the other because it supplies the wiper motor with an alternate source of power.
If you want normal wipers, use the standard wiper switch.
If you want intermittant, switch on the Hella unit instead.

The hardest part of doing Cruise Control will be finding the correct turn signal stalk...     it was 68-69 only...      

You will need the following:

- Cruise Control unit
- Throttle control cable
- cruise control brake switch
- speedo cable from unit to trans
- speedo cable from unit to dash
- Wiring
- Cruise Control turn signal stalk
- Vac source (factory used power brake booster)

Looking at the pics posted by Dan it seems there are at least 2 other brackets as well that should be added to that list. One sandwiched between the master cylinder  and the brake booster and another on the back corner of the block. Both used to hold what looks to be the throttle cable?

Be warned - parts for the Factory cruise systems for the 1969 and older cars are nearly extinct, servo and stop lmap switch especially.
The early servos have 2 vacuum nipples on them 1970 and later only has one.
Servo mounting brackets are unique to body style, and not super hard to find ( I think I have a used one here if you want pictures )

stop lamp switches for the 69 and older cars is nearly impossibile to find, ( i have a used one here if you want pictures)

If want to add a system, it would be so much easier to locate and install a 1970 and later setup .
I have an nos servo and nos stop lamp switch along with a used cruise only stop lamp switch mounting bracket

Servo mounting brackets.
1970-71 E-body on the left
1971-74 B-body in the middle
1968-70 B-body on the right

Cruise cable to carb  mounting bracket( NOS - small block shown )

[gtx6970]

NOS - 1970 and later style servo

[gtx6970]

Stop lamp switches
1970 and later with cruise control on the left.( with it's unique to cruise control bracket )

Without cruise control on the right

I'll have to see what I did with the used 69 and older switch and bracket
