Default '85 GT Cruise Control Actuater
I have a carb'ed '85 GT and my cruise control just quit working. I sorta suspect a vacuum line possibly broke, or the actuator itself has gone bad. Problem, where is it? How do I get to it?

I think I am looking for a vacuum actuator. It actually with engine vacuum works a cable to the carb to open or close the throttle to maintain speed.

Thank you. I kind of thought it might be in that area. I just need to figure out how to get to it to check it out.
