Ford Racing products quadrant and cable + Steeda firewall adjuster is the best answer for your Dollar...
Ford quadrant & cable - Ford Racing M-7553-B302 - $89
Steeda Adjuster - p/n 555-7021 $40.

See Summit Racing - High Performance Car and Truck Parts l 800-230-3030

I am using the above combo and it works very good. Anyone who tells you that the Ford adjustable cable isn't any good obviously never had one for several years. I have, and there are no problems with stretching. The cable doesn't bind or cause problems if it is properly installed and routed.

The binding common to adjustable cables is often due to misplacement of the adjusting nuts on the fork end of the cable. This will also cause the cable to wear and fray. Both nuts should be on the back side of the fork so that the domed nut faces the fork and the other nut serves as jam or locknut to the domed nut.

I've had an SVO long-throw quadrant and a well-used (insert tangible factor here) Ford-adjustable cable for years as well. Like for Jrichker (our combos were fairly similar), the pieces did just fine.

I will say that I was *much* happier with the MM kit (cable, quadrant and FWA). Opinions and preferences vary greatly.
