Concerning the Mustang clutch pedal /quadrant deal, when I built my 85 Mustang, it was originally a 4 cyl automatic car, I found the clutch/brake pedal assembly from an earlier FOX that did not use a self adjusting quadrant setup. These were used in 78-79 Fairmonts and Zephyrs, and Mustangs and Capris from 79 until 81 or 82, not sure when the quadrant style came out. This pedal uses a clutch pedal with a pin on the lever, so the clutch cable has an eyelet at the pedal end, and a threaded adjustment end for the clutch fork. I just ordered a new Pioneer clutch cable for a 79 Mustang 302 4 speed. I have used these early style pedals and cables on my Mustang Stocker, my Fairmont bracket car, and 2 different street strip Fairmonts. Simple and works great, like any cable, you just need to keep the cable away from the headers. On my cars, I used a couple of studs and Adel clamps to keep the cable tight to the engine block. As for clutches, I have been using McLeod Soft Loks with aluminum flywheels for over 20 years, with great results for over 20 years, with the Stocker, and my 427/428 FE and SB Ford stroker bracket cars. Usually get 2 seasons between rebuilds, sometimes a little longer...
