As Bob and I were doing a 400 mile roadtrip in the truck today we started
talking cruise for my V-8 and his MGC.  Has anyone used the JC Whitney
unit?  I realize that they are considered the lowest form of parts
purveyors, but who else vends one?  I know other "specialists" in the
conversion business list one.  Napa may be able to source one.  We do not
want to adapt a junkyard unit or scratch build.  I know we will need to add
a clutch switch and use the magnet on the driveshaft, no problems in the
fitting.  What we want to know before blowing $200 of our recreational
beverage fund, will it work reasonably well.  The rod guys are using mostly
GM units with a big servo piston.  We want small.  And inexpensive.
