Default Question on Cruise Control

Did someone once say that some front strut bars will not fit with cars equipped with cruise control? I'm trying to piece together a cruise control kit, but am afraid my Racing Dynamics bar may not work with cruise control.

you have a pic of your racing dynamics bar installed?

the cruise module sits on the front of the driver's side wheel well inside the engine bay. there is a clip off one of the bolts for the strut that holds the throttle cable, but i'm sure that could be dealt with.

While we are on the subject, would this Midinight Autowerks supercharger kit work with cruise control?

hmmm ... now that's interesting. let me pop out and peek at mine again. my 96 with cruise and ASC is slightly different than yours (w/ no cruise but ASC). the module you have on your driver's fender well has a cable going to the TB or whatever there. mine has a cable routed up to the intake where the throttle cable from inside the cabin goes. i should be able to post some pics later today (need to load them up on my mac, resize them and then load them up to the site).

From what I've seen . . .

The cruise control has a throttle cable going next to the one hooked up to the accelerator. Normal bars don't have the kink yours do, so it seems like it's built that way to provide clearance.

There is also a control box that goes next to the one on the driver's fender well that mechanically pulls the throttle cable taut.

Any reason this wouldn't fit our cars? The Cruise Control stalk is correct for our years. Would the OBC stalk work with our cars, if I retrofitted OBC?

Seems like it would (fit). Is there a cutout for the cruise stalk?

If the OBC stalk has a single connector coming from it, it might need to be added later. Depends on the connector in the steering column.
