The newer cruise controls can be adjusted as far as how sensitive they
are. Since they pick up the signal off the
distributor they are faster acting than the old ones. Most also have tap
up-down so you can adjust them in fine steps.
About the only problem you might have is that many of them don't work
well a lower RPM. Mainly because of the
fact that there is little rotating mass (that could be corrected by
adding a heavy flywheel in the drivetrain) they hunt
for the correct rpm.
