It can be used as a cruise control - on my '68 I used to set it in 2 nd gear
at 2500 RPM and cruise to the hot springs on a dirt road as I sat on the
roll bar and drove with my feet. Great way to enjoy the Idaho mountains:-)

<< Well, if you haven't used them, you don't have to worry about

hear is that most folks don't bother using the throttle at all.
Mine is
busted and it isn't missed. It allows you to pull the accelerator
linkage,
and a twist locks it so the engine can be revved higher. Dangerous
to use
it as a cruise control - don't consider that. >>
Hello,
I agree. It is not to be used as a cruise control although I did
use it as
that when I was driving through the desolate areas of AZ and NM two
years
ago. I remember setting it at around 75 or so and then just
relaxing.
Although everytime I went up and down an incline or dip on the
highway the
speed would change. Sometimes drastically.
No... I dont recommend it to be used that way but it sure did come
in handy
that summer.
