I had one that I purchased from K-Mart years ago that I ran for a long time our
old
rear wheel drive Toyota Corolla and then on a Mazda Pickup. It just ran off of
engine RPM (wire hooked to the coil like a tac would be) so you didn't have to
have
any sensors mounted on the drive shaft. It had a control unit that mounted on
the
turn signal stalk and worked pretty much like a GM cruise control does now. It
cost about $75 in 1982. It would work well with a V8 MGB. It had a wire that
hooked to the brake light circuit so that it would disengage when the brakes
were
applied. It also automatically disengaged when there was a sudden increase in
revs, like when you pushed the clutch in. It was easy to install.
