Cruise Control

In April 2023 I installed a GM Performance 383 Stroker with EFI on my 1975 Corvette Stingray Coupe. I'm looking for suggestions on purchasing and installing cruise control.

I've installed aftermarket Cruise on different vehicles. But as much as I really like Cruise, I haven't come up with a solution as to where to put the switches in such a manner that it doesn't look like **** on a C3 Corvette.
Otherwise it's pretty simple to install.
So, I'll watch this thread. Let's see how to mount switches so they are both convenient to use and look like they belong.

I looked into this a while ago and found that Rostra offered a turn-signal style switch that more or less looks like it would work with our columns

Now nothing that Rosta makes would fall under the cheap category but it's all very nice stuff

I have a 75, not a 77. But, you feel it should work on my 75?

No, that stalk is for 77 and later.
From what I have see there's also a difference on the 75 between a T&T stalk and a standard column stalk.
Also, if you go with the Rostra kit you will need to install a inline speed sensor (incorder) this one sends 16 pulses per revolution.

I use my right foot even on my cars that have CC. There are a bunch of kits out there.

I have a 1980 and would like to put Cruise Control on it as well. I am interested to see what system you find that is easy to install and looks good as well.

I probably won't do anything until spring, but from now until then I try to get my ducks in a row for my late winter/early spring Corvette upgrades.

if O.E wasn't hit or miss on the transducer, it would be easiest.
I bet wiring is mostly there.

Currently working on LS swapping my 77, and when I pulled the engine and trans from my old 2002 Avalanche, I also pulled the cruise control wiring, module, and stalk controls.
I'm still working on the wiring since I've had to mod the engine harness, and I'm also rewiring the dash as well to upgrade to the avalanche interior fuse box.

I have it all down on paper, and i'm currently in the process of implementing it. Once I do get it done, I'll make my own step by step post and probably a tiktok video to document how I did it.
