This is supposed to be one of the best adjustable clutch cables: http://www.maximummotorsports.com/Clutch-Cable-Quadrant-and-Firewall-Adjuster-Package-P385.aspx

I like Maximum Motorsports. They make really good stuff. It's not cheap but you get what you pay for.


you beat me to it,  thats gonna be my next cable when I need it.

Do you know if that cable will work with BBK firewall adjuster and BBK quadrant?

Here's just the cable: http://www.maximummotorsports.com/MM-Clutch-Cable-Universal-Mustang-Ford-OEM-1982-04-P897.aspx

It's made in the USA too.


The cable shown in the link should work. I'd call Maximum Motorsports to confirm though.

I'd slap some fresh plugs in it if I was going, or at least check them.  Looks like your combo is maxed out buddy,  once you get your dyno and A/F I guess you'll see how well your mass air meter is doing or not doing.  Mass air meter and tune with chip or quarterhorse might be all thats left to do.
I love my Quarterhorse

I posted above, the plugs were VERY clean. Just the slightest amount of carbon around the outer edge of the plug. That was about it. They were at .045.....i bumper them to .050. The car is running great, but I still think the clutch is slipping a wee bit. I'll adjust the cable either later today, or at some point prior to dyno day next Saturday.

As far as brakes, I can hear a vacuum sound when I hold the brakes down and turn the car off. Like a final amount of air....shhhhhhh......kind of sound. I will get a booster as soon as I can. I only need the booster, and bearings for the front rotors. I have the rest. I'd love to go to bigger brakes, but, funds just will not allow it at this time. It'll be a spring project next year. Larger front brakes (Fox Stang) and possible discs from an SN-95 for the rear, but redrilled for 4 lug so I don't have to worry about swapping wheels.

Yeah Kitz,, that's what I want to do. It's smaller, just as functional, and will allow a firewall adjuster to fit. I think mine is bad if I hear the vacuum sound from it. My booster and MC are 28 years old. Time to replace them. I'm almost there. One piece at a time. No hurry with winter coming. It'll all be done before the end of spring.

When you replace the master cylinder get a NEW one. The reman ones are junk. Boosters are only available as reman units unfortunately. 

I'll be doing a new master cylinder and reman booster swap in the spring as well (using a Thunderbird/Cougar booster as I have an AOD). Like you after 28 years I think they need to be replaced.

I did get a new MC, the booster I found on Ebay is about $80.00 shipped. We'll see. I've found them cheaper.

Dyno Day was put on hold. The dyno has a burnt capacitor. It is being repaired and will be up and running in two or three weeks. Oh well...more time to get the Bird ready
