I posed that question to the SOL list long ago, though I didn't pursue it.
The replies I got led me to belive most any off-the-shelf aftermarket CC
setup would work.
All it needs is a source of vacuum (maybe a separate pump; don't know if
manifold vacuum with its intrinsic vagaries would suffice) to operate a
servo linked to the throttle (the servo mounting bracket may require a
little fabrication), a speed sensor (probably hitched up like the
electronic tach--it doesn't need to know exact numbers, just 'too fast'
or 'too slow'), a place to mount the 'brains,' and a place inside the
cockpit to mount the switches. Badaboom badabing, and off you go.
