Early cruise control with manual picture request.

I’m adding cruise control to my 83 T/A with manual. I have the parts but it would be helpful to see how the install looks. If anyone has an early thirdgen with manual transmission and cruise control, can you post a few pictures from under the dash showing the pedals switches? My biggest question is to see the clutch/brake pedals and how the cruise control switches setup.

There are two switches on the brake pedal. A gray combination brake light/cruise cutout switch and a black vacuum vent switch.
Clutch pedal has a combination cruise cutout/vacuum vent switch. I'll see if I can get some pictures later.

Re: Early cruise control with manual picture request.

That would be awesome. I have discovered I may be missing two parts. There is a specific manual pedal and I will need Cruise Control Vacuum Release Valve, part number 407437. The clutch pedal has a tab that contacts the switch, I think i can add a tab that will work. Finding the Release Valve may be a bit more tricky.
