Today I swapped my intermitent cruise control unit on my 75 Grand Am for another one from a 74 Grand Am donor parts car and it worked like a charm, pushed the button at 65mph and it stayed rock steady all the way home on the TransCanada Hwy ... it should help saving a bit of gas, lol

Those old units have a habit of wearing out and then they surge. We used to sell rebuilt units at work but of course they are obsolete now. We got them rebuilt by a guy in Rathwell. His last name was Nostedt and he ran the hardware store. I don't think he does them any more but if you are around Rathwell, stop in at the hardware store and ask. You may be able to get your old one rebuilt.

the cruise control in the 454 Laurentian has a mind of its own.  I might have to see if I can locate this guy.
