does your pedal have the adjustment on it?  make sure that you are at the begining of your adjustment before trying to hook up the cable.  from what I remember of hooking those up the do fit kinda tight.

I used the FRPP adjustable cable with a firewall adjuster and there is probably only a little over an inch of therads through the clutch fork. The non-adjustable cable was about 2" too short.

I had the same issue, but I'm using an experimental quadrant. I only have to push the pedal about an inch. The nut at the end of the cable only has about two thread pitch sticking out. Next time I have the tranny out (Lord forbid that I have too) I'm going to replace the pivot ball and fork.
