Let me know how you do.
I am not a good hack but I can follow instructions.

Between 1934 & 1939 Chevrolet had a dash mounted "throttle" knob attached to a cable. It was the poor man's cruise control.
Once at the desired cruising speed, the driver pulled the "throttle knob" out until he was controlling the engine speed with the knob instead of the foot pedal. The cable was hooked directly onto the carb linkage at the same place the foot pedal cable was attached.
Constant RPM, not a constant speed. Worked fine on flat roads which were not very common in the 30's.
