It wasn't made for IH,  HEI is used mostly in GM, and a TON of GMs have
it...

Ah.... if I had a vacuum diaphgram for the cruise control I could hook it up
as well as use that to have the decell module working (I think).  The
remains of my original ended up completely falling apart (thanks again to
Peach Auto, if there are any GA list members left, avoid them with a 100
yard pole, forget the 10 foot one).

I think that they (binder books) split up the manual into 3 different ones
for sale... just judging based on the fact that one seems to cover
everything that they sell, and then they sell specific ones for different
vehicles.  Ones on ebay seem to only be the originals that cover
everything... they are going for a lot of $$$ too unfortunately...
