Question Cruise control setup

i bought a headlight/windshield with a cruise control switches on it for $30, considering my combonation switch that turns the headlights on and off cost $45, i think it was a steal. does any1 know how to rig on a cruise system?
Would the rest of the cruise setup help any?

This came off a 323 what was all optioned out. It has power windows-would they work a rx-7? What about the tilt wheel? i see plenty of stuff i can use on my rx-7.

All you need is the complete Stock Cruise Control setup for an FB, including the brain in the rear bin.

Then swap it in, - the connectors are all there.

Or, go the ugly route.

Aftermarket Cruise Control

Cruise, As far as I understand it, doesn't care what carb/mods are done, as long as it doesn't require more than a certain % of throttle to maintain speed. So it should work fine, if you can wire it in correctly.

That IS ugly I'd never put such a thing in MY car.... mainly 'cause it'd take so much effort putting in a VSS, or putting that stupid magnet system on the driveshaft...
