Default 77 Cruise Control Replacement

The cruise control cable is shot on my 77 and the part is NLA. I've searched and found threads from people with similar issues, and I've read that they replaced the system with a later year. What year cruise system are people using? Are they replacing just the actuator? Or the transducer, harness, etc?

Where have you been looking? The aftermarket vendors carry them.

I hopped over to eBay and found both cables listed, upper and lower.

Thanks for the help guys, but it's not the speedo cable I need. I'm looking for the cable that goes from the cruise vacuum actuator up to the carb, the one that actually pulls on the throttle lever.

no longer made, that I could find. Need to find a corvette junk yard. One year only part. Changed my car over to a newer cruise set up, like off a 80.

You could possibly make your own servo cable. Not much to them.
