Default 1977 Cruise Control

How does a 77 cruise control work in conjunction with the wiper/wash controls? Does one lever provide both controls?

Our 77 has the cruize control button on the tilt wheel lever. The wipers are on the turn signal lever.

1977's with 4-speeds did not come with cruise control, but someone had a Danacor in it when I bought it six years old. I eventually replaced it with a newer one that worked well. Unfortunately, the only thing they could get to work was a Danacor unit for a Ford F-150. It was completely separate from the washer/wipers with it's own controller that fit on the end of the tilt lever.

We have replaced it with a C5 unit that will plug right into the C5 column. Pure Bow Tie when we are finished.
