I agree with Bill. Probably got a King Cobra clutch kit or something similar. You could always put a stock style back in if you want.

Check to see if the clutch quadrant has been replaced. Misaligned quadrant with the hole in the firewall = stiff clutch. If there is misalignment, the aluminum quadrant will rub the cable and grab. I'm running a King Cobra w/T600, smooth as silk.

In addition, if the cable is misrouted and forms too tight of an arc, it can lead to a real stiff pedal.

I run the HD set-up. The pedal is stiff but very smooth. If the pedal uptake on this car is 'chunky' that can be a cable issue.

Good luck.

Check the balancer too, they are notorious for failing on our cars. Start the car and carefully look down at the balancer to see if it "wobbles." If it does it'll more than likely need replaced.
