1982 Cruise Control Doesn't Work

I bought this car in March, and the speedometer, and therefore cruise control, didn't work at the time. So I bought an upper and lower speedometer cable and a transducer, all of which were cruise control compatible. Now, my speedo works, but my cruise still doesn't. Any advice on how to fix this? Thanks.

Make sure all the vacuum hoses are connected correctly and that all wires are plugged in. Also, be sure the diaphragm is operational and the cable is in place.

It could be a vacuum thing (there is a vacuum switch on the brake pedal that needs to be set properly, or it could be an electrical problem (voltage not getting to the head..."set" signal not getting to the head, etc.).
