Cruise Control

Hey guys/gals. I have a 1988 trans-am with the 5.7 TPI. I am missing the cable that runs from the cruise control to the throttle. Where can I find this (new)? I have searched everywhere with no luck.

Re: Cruise Control

I don't think they're available new unless you find a NOS piece which could be out there. Putting out a wanted classified or checking through the Pontiac Smoke Signals may yield you one. Used ones you can find on the TGO classifieds boards in short order.

They weren't different between LB9 and L98, they were different between 88 and 89.

Re: Cruise Control

That's when they changed the T-body hookups. So if you are TPI, you'll just need the cable to match whichever hookup you need.
Easy peasy, lemon squeezy

Where did you get that diagram? Is there a website that has everything. I have an 84 camaro and the gm sites only shows parts that are available. I am looking for a site that has all part numbers and diagrams. Does it exists?
