I got the MM clutch cable now just waiting to put the new parts in can't wait,this car has needed a clutch and new cable since the day I bought it ! Plus I just ordered four new Drake Muscle Cars Wheel Center Cap With Tri-Bar Emblem 1991-1993 argent silver for the fox having my factory rims all re: powder coated this winter and matching the color to these center caps,the old factory on the right and new on the left and decided it was time for some classic plates this fox isn't going no where anytime soon .....

Today Installed a new cobra clutch kit assembly with new MM clutch cable and firewall adjuster,aluminum quadrant.I had another flywheel to install which was good because the one on the car had a broken tooth gear.Also checked the rear main seal that turned out to be still in good shape. The leak was at the oil pan dripping down in the bell housing he sealed that up, we'll see ! The clutch feels better to me I like where it releases now and the pedal feels not has stiff. I like the firewall adjuster makes it easy enough to adjust if needed and not having to go under the car ! The tranny parts where pretty dirty from not being off the car in 46k miles but a little bit a brake cleaner took care of that ! Thanks "Shifter Lou" for all your help ! Here's some pics ....

probably less than your wifes v-sixer.....lol seriously, depending on the dyno, if it's a dyno jet, 250-260.......I did a gt-40 intake, gt-40 heads and tfs 1 cam for a guy and his put out 266 on a dyno jet.....so you might be a tad under that with stock cam.
