I believe I've found a decent source for a transducer for the '79. It turns out I need the 2 wire transducer because even though I have a 3 wire now I do not have the resume valve which is a separate piece that bolts to the transducer. The guy I am getting it from rebuilds them and had a lot of good information when I talked to him. My mistake was assuming the equipment in my truck actually came in the truck originally which led my search awry.

Check out this guy's store: https://www.ebay.com/str/celiafromthenutcompany86

I should have the new transducer on Saturday and I'll report the results as soon as I can.

It certainly wouldn’t hurt to ask.
did you want me to still look and see if i have mine?

also, do BOP engines of the same era have the same system? A 78 cutlass on my property has the same cruise stalk as yours did

Someone else may be able to use it and yes, I was told they’re the same across the GM line.

I’m really not sure but the function did work before the whole deal went to ****. I’m not really sure how though. I won’t have the transducer until Monday now.

I though I had read somewhere that the Resume feature was added in '83, and then of course the multi-function stalk came in '84. I'm really not sure though.

The guy was tell me 81 was the first year for resume but I would guess the higher end cars would have gotten it first. These transducers are the same across the GM line for the 70’s/early 80’s.

Of all the stuff I've owned, none of it has been from the early 80's, so the cruise setups in those years are a mystery to me. I guess I never paid attention to any of them I worked on either. It will be curious to find out if your resume works with a 2-wire transducer.
