Cruise Control Vacuum

I've been searching and haven't found where I can connect the vacuum hoses to the cruise control. Its for a GSL-SE 13B engine. All I've found was for a 12A engine. Can someone take pix or link a diagram or something that will allow me to use my cruise control on the way to work tomorrow?

Thanks!

thanx for the response iotus...

i had to redo that wierd thing and went by the haynes manual, thing is the haynes manual doesn't show the cruise control, so i guess i bypassed it by accident? if i did, which connection goes where? there are 2 vacuums that come out of the bottom of the wierd things. do you know of a diagram somewhere or can you draw one up real quick?

love your tail lights btw...hope your engine work goes good.

I'm tryign to remember what i did.

It seems that there was a 3rd T in that line w/ the weird things, going up to the cruise control.

Hey you could try it, and if it doesnt run, disable it by un-plugging it....

sorry i cant be of more help. let me perouse through my pics real quick...

Look for a "double T"my cruise fell apart and caused a high idle. i traced it to a brittle broken "double t" connector near the cruise vac unit, passenger side near the firewall. there are a couple of solenoid looking things on the firewall and i believe they are connected to the same double t.

Right on.

Yeah, brownmound, thast what i've been trying to tell him.

Just tap it into that line, just get a T, stock it goes into a double T or something.

Just tap it in there. somewhere, anywhere, doesnt really matter

i found a double t but its connected...i did find a t connector where one end is capped off...i'll connect the cruise control to that but it will leave me with an extra hose...

i'll connect and take the car for a quick drive. if it still doesn't work i'm going to draw a diagram of what i have cuz its hard to take pix in there...
