steeda quadrant and stock cable

I just installed the steeda quadrant and adjuster with a stock cable. (85 gt 5.0 convertible) The cable is not long enough so i reinstalled the stock bushing instead of the fire wall adjuster. Still not longe enough, there is no play in the pedal. There is only a 1/2 inch beetween the clutch fork and the bell housing, could this be the problem. The clutch fork being to far aft?. I will order the adjustable cable but im not really sure that will help. It seems like the pedal will still be to high.

Thanks
