Default Hard Clutch

Hi, I have a 90 5.0 LX AOD-T-5 converted, and I recently had the clutch, pressure plate etc. replaced and now the pedal is so hard to push down the entire firewall and dash is flexing. I have a few ideas of what ir could be but before I start tearing into it any input would be appreciated. A ford racing king cobra was used to replace old one.

I'd start with replacing the clutch cable. It probably got kinked during the install. If you haven't already, this is a good time for a firewall adjuster and an adjustable cable.

OK I figured it out, after re-adjusting the fire wall adjuster the cable was pushed to far back, so I just bent the bracket down. Im surprised at what an inch can do...
