That info is in the 1968 Assembly Manual. A paper copy is avaiable from most of the vendors, but you can get a PDF copy for free HERE.

Yep, the first generation Camaro used the blinker lever for the control. HERE'S more info and some pictures. Yours may be an aftermarket system.

My 68 camaro (which has been in storage un touched for 35 years n in the process of rebuilding last 4 years ) seams to have a factory cruse control on it but although all parts still on it are gm stock including the button arm that go's to turn sig on steering column  but the  different is my button is under the dash next to convertable top switch  .could a person do a option override to have the cruse button set up this way ?

Try to get some pictures of the servo ( round thing under the wiper motor with the chain on it) and the regulator ( thing mounted on the left fenderwell that has 2 speedometer cables attached to it )
Your picture does not show much detail but it looks like the end of a CC switch / lever assembly with the lever removed. Wire colors should be Brown, Blue, Black at the plug end, a close up would be nice.

Bottom picture is a 67/68 servo and is correct.
Need to see regulator.
Could you get a picture of the pink wiring on the fuse box with it disconnected from fuse box?

Nice shot of tilt column, the CC lever goes where the silver turn indicator is. Which side of brake booster, picture of lines would help.
Will be leaving for weekend tomorrow and will not be back until following Tuesday.

Above is a pic of the area were my swicth button was placed since  1974 for sure as much as I know ,its not on turn Sig but below dash next to power convertible swicth ,any out there have this curse control together with the tilt wheel ?? Would the tilt be a problem with the wire runing though it  and poss developing a break ??       I am looking for the servo to complete this set up if any one out there knows of one

I have a 68 which  appears to have all GM curse control units except the regulator or carb mount pc , what's different is my switch button is not on turn Sig but under dash next to power top switch ,could this be a dealer option or factory option ??

Replacement CC levers can be found on eBay but are expensive. CC with tilt is a factory option ( RPO K30 and RPO N33 ), all you need is a screw to mount the lever to the turn signal assembly.
I believe someone tried to install factory CC parts in your build and that is why we need the pictures of all the parts.
Do you have a 68 Assembly Instruction Manual ( 68 AIM )? You need to get one or down load file from this site as it will make reconstruction of the CC system easier and would not need all the pictures.

Without the regulator that is mounted on the fenderwell you are out of business. You will have to find one (67/68) as that is the heart of the CC system and they are very rare.

Ok thanks ,just saws this and jumped on to ask a question , n yes a 68 67 regulator is a shot in the dark, wounder are chevelle regulators the same ??         N yes I have the assembly manual n curse lay out diagram. I also have the curse sticker in glove box as well wounder if someone had tried to install a GM curse unit than why go to all the trouble way back in 74 to tar the harness wires to body under dash n  place the sticker in glove box ??                                                In one of my post I asked looking for the servo , I ment looking for the regulator oops am I bad.   N thanks. For the info big John but I'm not convinced my car did not come from the factory with this option ,I know for a fact this car was this way back in 74 as I new then owners, she orders this car with a lot of options,n a color over ride ( red car with blue convertible top n red interior ,power windows,luggage rack, power top ,tilt, gauges, tic toc tac,SS 350, Aastro vents logo on window, ARO wipers , power brakes,

If both speedometer outlets are pointing towards the firewall no. The original has one of the outlets pointing down at right angle.

The servo right? I have a pic on 2nd page of this post,  Diagrams must be inside unit.          Ok I have two more pics .of the wires ,main vac line,  placement  of the servo three bolt attachment area n opening though fire wall we're all passes though ,        now after unravelling tape around wires I noticed wires looped in harness with only two that would end up hooking to regulator  ,   I wounder if some one had tried to hook the cruise up after it came from GM would they have used so much wire and loop it in the harness ??

Having trouble posting pics. What I'm talking about is the part that is behind booster and pulls the throttle open with chain/ Vaccuum. It looks like a mini booster. It has two Vaccuum connections both on same side and a linkage via chain to the throttle. Pm me email and I'll send you some pics of my servo and misc parts. My 67 has a orig cruise on it.
