I have installed the ZT11 cruise control on my Volvo 1800ES(auto. trans) and
my 3/4 ton International Harvester 4x4(5-speed).  The installation took about
a half a day on each vehicle, the truck being the easiest since there is lots
of room to work.  The only problem I had was getting a vacuum source. I don't
have air conditioning on either car.

I think that the manufacturer is ZEMCO or something like that. I no longer
have the box it came in and all the literature is nameless(probably because
they supply to Sears and the like).  I bought them on sale at one of the
local discount houses for about 55 dollars each. I have seen them for as
high as $69.

The speed pickup comes from some magnets you strap to the drive line. You have
to mount a coil pretty close (3/8-1/2") to the magnets and that gave me a
little trouble on the Volvo.  The control head is a small module with three
buttons on it.  It has the accelerate/decelerate and coast/resume functions.

I also put Cibie quartz halogen headlights on both cars. They are great for
Oregon weather!
