We are already at 73 today.
I spent some time in the garage and wiggled and played Gumby and got under the dash of the El Camino to get to the cruise control module. I replaced it, and cruise works again at lower speeds, but on the highway is surges. I suspect it is my speedometer cable, or the speedometer itself.
After driving for 30 minutes at 75 MPH I can hear a faint squeak squeak from right at the speedometer. The cruise control reads a rotating wheel that is part of the speedometer with bulb gizmo.
I will have to dissemble the instrument pod to get the speedometer out, I can then replace the speedometer cable and lube the speedometer itself. If the squeaking is gone and the cruise works I will be happy. I bought a replacement speedometer cable years ago, but never replaced it, as lube was enough last time I had an issue. I want every component of the vehicle to work as designed, or way better from my upgrades.
