I put one of these JC Gyp-me cruise controls on an BMW a number of years ago.
I worked great! Has a vacuum canister to pull on the throttle cable. Control
unit is about the size of a small wooden-match box. Tapping the (+) or (-)
key gives you = MPH change in speed. I later saw the same unit installed in Al
Moss's supercharged MG TC panel truck. Bought another one to put in my TD so
I could tolerate driving in the flatland Midwest. Lost it in my garage
somewhere. If I ever find it, I will install it. Highly recommended! Still
in their catalog, I believe. Somewhere near those propeller things you mount
between the carb and the intake manifold. If you get to the hubcaps that spin
backwards, you've gone too far.

JC Whitney sells a magnetic device you put on/near the driveshaft.
Some sort of cruise control, I never saw one in person.
My family will be driving 2 or 3 Spridgets down from Jersey, we are
leaving 2 days in advance sleeping ina motel somewhere along the way.
If you want to join our caravan.
Maybe a 3.9 diff for the road trip would be a nice addition for the drive.
