Default Cruise Control rappid acceleration

Ok I just went through al of the electric connections and all of the vacuum lines, and finally got the cruise to work...elll sort of....it engages but then it takes off pedal to the medal...any idea what adjustment I need??? is it the vacuum that is connected to the throttle is there too much vacuum so the cylinder is collapsing instead of staying to the positon it is engaged at.,,,at least I got electric to it and now just need some help to solve the acceleration versus maintaining the engaged speed??? Thanks for an info bb78

The vacuum is controlled by the block which moves up and down the green tube in the CC transducer. The factory services manual
has a section on cruise control which explains things very well.

Or the activation switch may be defective and sticking in "Resume" mode when you depress it.

There is an adjustment on the transducer. Diver side fender. Vacume hose going to it. Transducer is metal. Few inches long near the master cylinder. Unplug the hose adjust the nut. In for slower out for faster. Blessings
