1977 chrysler cordoba.
my cruise control used to work fine.
I tried to engage it today and although it will engage, the speed at which it engages is waaay faster than what I pressed the button to!!!! unintended acceleration!
Exact Steps:
I'm driving, I press the button at a low speed, maybe 30MPH, nothing happens.
I speed up to about 50, and press the button, it engages!
it immediately starts going faster.....55.....to 60...to 65.. then I have to turn it off because I'm on the streets!
I can physically feel the pedal going down when this happens.
I have completely replaced the intake manifold with an edelbrock performer. I had to adjust my electric choke because the carb sits higher in this intake. Does it sound like maybe I need to mess with the adjustment cable too? I haven't touched it. image of this is here (it's the upper cable/bracket with some white paint on it)

A couple weeks ago as I was driving I looked down at the stalk, and noticed that the switch for cruise was "on" instead of "off" and I had been driving around with the switch "on" for god knows how long. Would this cause any damage to the system?
Unfortunately I don't remember since the new intake if I have ever used cruise. the intake was replaced in April or May
Here is a picture of my cruise control unit. I know that it uses a speedometer cable to get the MPH. but I notice a second speedo cable below that. what's that for?
