New King Cobra clutch going in. Should I install an adjustable cable or stock non ? I ordered an adjustable quadrant kit from Mustangs Unlimited, but if I don't need it I could spend the money on something else.

You don't need it. I have two of those, one in my 84 that is daily driven. I've had the clutch for 6 years with the stock plastic quadrant stuff. I am replacing it, though, just becuase I would rather it not strand me like it did on one of my other cars.

I had a Steeda 2-hook quadrant and UPR firewall adjuster with a OEM cable (not adjustable).

www.buyfordracing.com sells the OEM cable for $40 bucks.

I used the firewall adjuster to adjust it...it worked well together with my King Cobra clutch.

I have the same set up, it works awesome. My clutch pedal is almost like stock.

With the aluminum SVO quadrant and adjustable cable, the feel was hard not enjoyable for my taste.
