On my 1982 Toyota Land Cruiser that came from Australia with a diesel engi=
ne, it came from the factory with a manual throttle, which I use at start =
up, and also on the freeway. =C2=A0My son installed one on his Toyota pick=
up truck, and then installed the same kind on my TR3.=0A=0AIt's not an off=
icial cruise control, meaning it will turn off if/when I tap the brakes, a=
nd it won't accelerate when going up a hill. But when I'm on the freeway I=
can set the manual throttle at 65 or 70 mph, and away I go.=0A=0AThis can=
