Default clutch adjustment, help!

Ok, here we go, I am in the process of installing a T-5 tranny in my 95 Mustang GT. The car was originally an auto AODE. Everything has gone smoothly up until the final stages. I installed an adjustable BBK clutch cable, unfortunately I don't remember how tight to make the cable adjustment nuts at the tranny clutch fork. Do I want it drawn up tight enough to where the throw out bearing is just slightly touching the clutch springs? Or do I want to give it more free play and have a little slop before the clutch engages? Any information on initial clutch adjustment would be greatly appreciated. Hoping to fire up the car tomorrow once I get the new computer installed and have the answers to the clutch cable issue.

5 speed install complete. Totally amazing the power difference between the AODE and the T-5. Thanks stanglx2002
