Aloha Terry,

I just went out and took a look at mine. A friend did the initial build but that
was eight years ago. He followed the book for the most part, Don Scott
provided the engine/trans (351w& T-5z) so I think he went by the book on
that part. I keep referring to the manual because I think the same basic
edition was used for years. The housing at the firewall looks just like yours,
I don't think it is any longer than 4". The cable comes way forward in an arc
and is above the A frame and heads back under to the throw out arm. Looking
from above it looks like the threaded portion of the rod is about centered in
the throw out arm as far as adjustment goes. I have to push the pedal about
2" before disengagement starts and when I let the clutch out it starts to
engage about 2" off the floor. It feels like it is just about centered as far as
engagement - disengagement from the floor to end of pedal. Works for me.
Hope this gives a little insight. Sorry I don't have pictures but mine looks
like yours as far as I can tell. I just have NAPA clutch disc in there, nothing
exotic. Hopes this helps?
