how to get cruise control working after engine swap.
swapped a 5.3 with a Holley TerminatorX into my 89 IROC. got the cruise control cable hooked up to the throttle body, but can anyone tell me what wires to hook up to what to get the cruise working again?
it's a really nice thing to have on long interstate jaunts..

Re: how to get cruise control working after engine swap.
so no one has gotten the factory cruise control to work as a standalone setup?

Re: how to get cruise control working after engine swap.
Well, I'm unsure I fully understand, but I'll throw this info your way. I swapped in a 350 and removed the computer, which grounds the CC. A reground did the trick. If that's the least bit helpful, the following link shows what I did:

Re: how to get cruise control working after engine swap.
finally got this done today.
simply grounded the black wire with a white stripe in the plug down by where the ecm was and the cruise works perfectly now.
