Added cruise control

I used the Audiovox CCS-100 kit ($90 at summitracing) and the install wasn't too bad. It was a huge pain getting the throttle cable off without removing the carb, but I finally got it off and looped the cruise control servo cable onto it too. After that, it was pretty easy.
I mounted the servo unit just behind the passenger side strut tower since there was room right there behind the coil. I also added an extra vacuum reservoir which they recommended for small engines (got the reservoir and one-way valve for $3 off an older Accord at the junkyard).

Here you can see the servo cable attached to the existing throttle cable

I had to modify the slip ring from an 89 prelude to make it work with the steering column of this car. I already had the wheel in there but the slip ring wasn't in place (only the horn was working before). But now I have the wiring in place and the buttons on the wheel work to control the cruise control.

I have a red 1982 Honda Preludethat I am thinking of selling. It runs great, but the engine smokes when I first start it sometimes. The front suspension has been rebuilt in the last two years, and there are other new parts. The body is in good shape other than a dent in the left front fender and the hood where a branch fell on it and busted the vent. I have a new vent for that. It passed smog last year with zero emmissions, and it's really a great car. It's just getting hard to get parts for it and I am not into restoring it as a collector car, so I am thking about letting it go to someone that would care for it. It's a good car, and I'd hate to see it turned into junk, so I am curious as to how much I should ask for it. I can supply pictures if anyone is interested. Thanks. michael@enchantedcreek.com
