I had a Buick 1968 Sportwagon 400 in the '70s and took it faithfully to the
Buick Service Center.
One time when I was there the Shop Manager gave me a 1968 Buick Service Book
telling me that it had belonged to an employee that left the place.

Next I bought a 1969 Buick Electra 225 with a 430 engine.
I used that Buick Book to adjust two screws on the Cruise Control box and had
that car set where it didn't deviate from the speed I set it at when I was
driving it .

On the way to Somerset Kentucky is Halls Gap.
I set the Cruise Control button at 40 MPH  and that Buick went up that hill and
later down that hill it never slowed down or speeded up on that trip.
