I've got a Dana on my Datsun F10 and I like it, except for a problem with
the centering.  Even with the adjustment all the way to the limit, it still
sets a speed less than the current one.  The error is proportional to the
speed, ~2mph at 40mph, ~3mph at 60mph.  I'm guessing it's an "impedence
mismatch" between my little car and the off-the-shell speed control.

Meanwhile, I have to do 58 to cruise at 55....
