Coupe GT Cruise Control

[Nate Beck]

Trying to remember where mine is on my car.  I know that the end of the
actuator rod connects to the ball on top of the throttle linkage.  You
do have the ball, but no rod.  It would extend towards the radiator and
have a vacuum bulb at the end of it.  I do not see it there, or even the
bracket which holds it.  Very strange.

Arg! (gnashing of teeth)

That's frustrating... but also, where does the
actuator go? The vaccuum pump sits over there, where
you described, and a vaccuum line travels over to the
actuator.. which would be where?
