im almost finished with my v8 swap on my '87 and i need to know what clutch cable i need to use. i used the '86 cable but apparently its too short (was a b**** to get on the fork) and is not alowing the clutch to fully ingage. with the pedal released the clutch fork is directly in the middle of the the opening in the bellhousing.

so i need to know is there any difference between the 86(5.0) and 87(2.3) quadtant that would make the cable 2in. too short and what cable should i use?

I would just go buy a setup with everything new, quadrant, cable, and firewall ajuster. WELL worth the money in the long run. I got a steeda setup, never had a problem with it. Ran me 100 bucks for the setup. Check out e-bay. They got new cheaper setups as well.

is it the stock quadrant on the car? if it is you probably need to reset the pawl so the quadrant part will rotate back down. check out the link in my sig about clutch adjustment
