Default Cruise control w/ holley carb

Hey guys, two part question here: first, I recently switched from the original quadrajet to a holley avenger carb. Does anyone know what sort of adapter I need to make cruise control work with this new carb? Second, the cruise control changes speed on its own and im not sure whether the transducer needs adjustment or rebuild/ replacement, just for good measure, is this part worth rebuilding I'll have the opportune moment to work on it when I install my new borgeson and hydraboost systems in a month

Thanks in advance

I've got the throttle down but from what i understand, there's some additional adapter to attach the link that goes from the cruise servo to the carb, probably very similar to the last part they show in the video. I'm thinking since it is just a little stud sticking out of the throttle on the carb could I possibly get away with fastening a small bolt to the carb or would that be a bit of a bubba rig?
Also which hole would it go through? ANyone have a pic of their carb with cruise control hooked up?

I just used the stud off the Q-Jet. Worked fine. If I knew how to post pictures I would show you. If you want to PM your email to me I can email a photo to you.
