I had an 82' that went full throttle on me, while I was driving. It ened up being a cable came off the cruise control.

More than likely it is a vacuum leak. There is a vacuum hose the goes to the CC unit and runs behind the distributor. Chances are there is a hole in this hose or it is broken. The result would be a higher idle and no CC.

follow hose from plenum to check valve and then to cruise control and vacuum storage tank.
