GENERAL DESCRIPTION-CHEVROLET
The front bumper is a new, full width, three-piece
design consisting of a center and two end face bars.
Two holes are pierced in the center face bar for the
parking lamps. The bumper attaching brackets are
lengthened to attach in common with new front bumper
diagonal braces.
The rear bumper is a new three-piece design similar
in general appearance to the 1966 design. Caprice mod-
els have pierced holes in the center portion of the bumper
for the back-up lamps with the other models incorporat-
ing the back-up, lamps with the tail lamps. The fuel tank
filler door assembly remains the same as the 1966
models.

6. The car begins to descend a hill--car speed in-
creases slightly and the regulator movements oc-
curing above occur again except in reverse. The
rubber drum is turned further against spring tension
and the air bleed orifices are uncovered more. This
bleeds more air to the Servo reducing the vacuum in
the unit. The diaphragm moves away from the
vacuum port, closes the throttle slightly, and with-
draws the tapered needle from the vacuum orifice.
With the orifice enlarged, the increased vacuum
counteracts the increased air bleed and the dia-
phragm finds a balance again at a reduced throttle
opening.
7.
Driver accelerates by pressing accelerator pedal-
car speed increases and the system responds by
moving the diaphragm to decrease throttle opening.
Since a bead chain is used, the chain merely relaxes
and has no effect on throttle operation. After the
driver releases pressure from the pedal, the throttle
will close until car speed decreases to the pre-set
speed. At that point the Regulator bleeds less air
to the Servo which opens the throttle enough to
maintain the pre-set speed. The system returns to a
stable condition.
8. Driver desires higher controlled speed, presses ac-
celerator until new speed is reached, and depresses
Engagement Switch fully and releases button--speed
sensing assembly tries to turn in a direction that
would decrease the throttle opening until the driver
fully depresses the Engagement Switch. Then the
current is cut off to the solenoid which retracts; the
solenoid nose expands the "U" clip releasing its
grip on the rubber drum. The drum and disk as-
sembly then rotates to a new position because of the
higher car speed. When the solenoid retracts, it also
shuts off vacuum to the Servo and opens the vacuum
port to atmospheric pressure within the Regulator
thereby bleeding down the Servo toward idle throttle
position. As the driver releases the Engagement
Switch, the contacts cause "pull in" and "hold in" of
the solenoid respectively. The system is engaged to
maintain the car speed at the time of Engagement
Switch release.
9. Driver desires lower cruising speed, presses En-
gagement Switch fully, waits until car speed de-
creases to desired speed then releases Switch--when
the Engagement switch is fully depressed the sole-
noid is de-energized causing the vacuum switch to
bleed down the Servo to idle throttle position and the
"U"
clip of the idle bleed valve is released from the
rubber drum. The drum and disk assembly is free
to rotate to a position which corresponds to vehicle
speed as the car slows. When the driver releases
the Engagement Switch, the unit "pulls in" and "holds
in" in the normal manner. The air bleed valve is
clutched to, the rubber drum at the car speed during
switch release. Vacuum is again applied to the
Servo and throttle control is assumed by the Regu-
lator to maintain the car speed at the time of switch
release.
10.
With system in operation, driver applies brakes--
simultaneously the Vacuum Release and Electric
Release Switches operate. The Vacuum Switch
bleeds air into the Servo through the air bleed line
coming from the Regulator. The vacuum is reduced
in the Servo and the throttle returns to idle position.
The Electric Release Switch cuts off power to the
entire system and the solenoid is de-energized. If
the driver removes his foot from the brake pedal the
Electric Switch again feeds voltage to the Engage-
ment Switch and the Vacuum Switch seals the air
bleed line. If the vehicle speed is above 20 mph
when this occurs, reduced voltage will flow to the
solenoid through the 40 ohm wire which will not be
sufficient to "pull in" the unit. If vehicle speed is
below 20 mph no current will flow since the tang
on the rubber drum has opened the low limit switch
points in the Regulator. In either case, after de-
pressing the brake pedal, the system will not con-
trol car speed until the driver operates the engage-
ment switch above 20 mph.
SERVICE OPERATIONS
The components of the Cruise Master system are de-
signed to be replaced should they become inoperative.
The Regulator is calibrated in such a manner during
manufacturing that overhaul operations are impractical.
However, one adjustment may be made to the Regulator to
correct speed drop or increase at the time of
engagement.
BRAKE RELEASE SWITCHES
ELECTRIC
Service — An inoperative switch must be replaced.
Switch replacement is identical to standard brake lamp
switch replacement.
Adjustment- The brake switch plunger must clear the
pedal arm when the arm is moved 1/4 inch measured at
the switch (Figure 7).
VACUUM
Service
—
An inoperative (sticking, plugged, or leaking)
switch must be replaced. Switch replacement is similar
to brake switch replacement. Be certain that the hose to
the switch is connected firmly and is not cracked or
deteriorated.
Adjustment- The brake switch plunger must clear the
pedal arm when the arm is moved 5/16 inch measured at
the switch (Figure 7).
