Sounds to me like your cable is stretched out. I would go check to see if the quadrant is stock or not. If it is, go out and buy an aftermarket one, along with a firewall adjuster and a new FORD cable. Stay away from the aftermarket ones, as they tend to snap. My friend broke 8 of them within a year.

Steeda and Maximum motorsports are both good. They will run you about 80 bucks for the two parts. Maximum motorsports also sells a ford cable for 67 dollars if I remember correctly. figure it should be around 150 for all the parts.
