[Healeys] Audiovox Cruise control wiring

[John O'Brien]

Hi Listers:
I still have my Audiovox Cruise control in the box waiting for me to install
it, which I might finally get around to this week.  I read a post on the
spridget list by Glen Byrns that he installed his in a sprite and did not
use the magnet sensor - only used the signal from the coil.  Here is part of
his post:
 
  I had some trouble getting the new cruise control to hold speed above
50mph,
So I searched the web for answers.
If you have one of these and its working great, ignore this.  This refers
only
To an Audiovox CCS100 cruise control in a Spridget.
Set the PPM for 8000, set it for ECM, high sensitivity and don't bother with
The magnet sensor or VSS wire.  Run it "tach only".
Without the magnet, its gets all it needs to know from the coil.  You can
just
Cut off the fat gray wire.

Now, after ignoring all the settings in the manual and setting it as above,
It works perfectly.  One touch of the button and I'm at 70mph all day.  Push
In the clutch and it disengages, touch the brake and it shuts off.  Missouri
Here I come!!

Has anyone done their Big Healey installation like this?  I would like to
avoid installing the magnet and sensor if possible, especially if it can
work as well as Glen claims his does.  If so, can you share your settings if
they are different than what Glen used.
Thanks for any input.
