Cruise control help

I have an 87 Formula that I have converted to non-cc. Edelbrock carb and performer manifold, Accel HEI dist. I have disconnected most of the sensors, but not cut the harness anywhere yet. All the dash gauges work still. The dist is on the original 'bat/tach' hookup. I would like to know how to get the cruise working, if possible. The vacuum hoses to the module are hooked up as far as I can tell, no leaks. Is there something in the four pin dist hookup I may need?
thanks...

Using a voltmeter or test light (the type for testing for voltage, not a continuity tester) probe the gray wire at the Cruise Module.

When you switch the Cruise to ON, is there power there?

Then probe the
gray wire with a black stripe.

When you switch the Cruise to ON, is there power there?


Happy Racing!

NINA- I know you think you are helping, but your font and layout is REALLY annoying. Can you just go with regular type?

Did not delete the computer. Did go non-cc, though. I believe only the emissions have been disconnected.

Re: Cruise control help

Nina, I will check on your questions soon. The 88 needs a fuel pump first. Thanks for your posts, all.
