Well when i did my swap i remember theres another hole one there, but you have to look for it its right next to it its probably pluged. I think on aod the hole that lines up with the quadrant is where the speedometer wire is going through.. I had to switch mine over. It does through where the factory AOD speedo cable hole is. The tension of the cable should hold it in place there like an L at the end where it slips in then the tension of the cable hold it in..And for the last question.. Your right you shouldn't have stock plastic quadrant part because it was and automatic.. but the donor or the pedal you had to install must of had it...so if you don't have it don't worry about it. just install yours... Well this is by the experience ive been.. Might be different for others.. I done 3 swaps..... By the way the BBK quadrant sucks..If you have any more questions feel free to ask . I can try to help..
read the link in my sig...it'll explain everything with the swap.
don't use that adjustable cable or quadrant...they're junk.
the adj cables stretch and break. that quadrant is designed only for use with an adj cable.
use the oem non adj cable and get a firewall adjuster and quadrant from maximum motorsports.

I'm with Jeremy. If doing that route, I'd recommend getting the MM universal cable as well (Just get the kit. Even if you don't need the cable right now, a spare is great to have).
On my car (and a few others I've read about) the stock cable didnt quite function properly with the MM quadrant (there was a good bit of preload even with the FWA turned all the way in). I think it comes down to the individual car, build tolerances and other variables.
And for now, the parts you have should do ok. I ran a Ford adjustable cable and SVO quadrant for some years and though it wasn't as buttery as the MM parts, it did fine for me. Jeremy ran just about the same set-up for some time as well.
The MM quadrant will include washers for the quadrant.
Your clutch cable hole might be semi-hidden with aftermarket cables and wires running through it right now. It's a convenient spot to do so.
