Default Question for 5.0 guys with aftermarket quadrants...

A buddy of mine just changed out his stocker quadrant and put in a aftermarket one ( brand i have no idea) and also installed a firewall adjuster and adj clutch cable. My question is that his clutch pedal feels very spungy, and when you stab the clutch to the floor it feels like it dosent return to its starting possition fast enough. I was wondering if i put back in the stock quadrant spring on the aftermarket quadrant would help this? Anyone out there with ne help is much appreciated. By the way he has a king cobra clutch if that matters.


-John.

I installed a quadrant and couldn't get enough adjustment out of the stock cable (ford). I had to use and adjustable cable..............
