Can someone please post a picture of the cruise control linkage from the servo to the Q-jet installed in a working system? I'm trying to get the cruise control working again. I'm missing a rod and chain and possible a few other things. If I knew how the factory set it up, I could fabricate replacements or find some.

There is just a rod that runs from the servo to the carb, it is connected through the servo by a cotter pin and at the carb linkage with no clip IIRC. It just slips over the rectangular opening.
There is a picture here in the second post 4th photo that shows the rod and servo interface:

Looks like kuruption109 has a cruise rod for sale:

any wrecking yards in your area? I'm thinking just about any gm from the G body years used the same set up.
I don't know about his situation, but every 80s gm carb'd car I've seen in a wrecking yard either had the q-jet long gone or the engine out of it.
I haven't checked at either of the you-pull-it yards yet. They mostly only have 90's era fuel injected stuff. Pretty slim pickings where I am. Where does it connect to the carb? I'm guessing at the TV cable location since the servo only pulls on the rod. Looks easy enough to fab up if I can't find one.
I haven't been to the junk yard yet. The pollen is wreaking havoc with my allergies. I may just fabricate a rod. I know roughly what it's supposed to look like from photos and the shop manual.
