Well, I don't know if my quadrant is like everyone elses. I got mine out of an 85 Stang that had a 4 cylinder, but I bet it's the same. It has the big plastic quarter circle thing with teeth all around the outside and then a little wedge with teeth on it from the arm of the pedal. All, I did was take the spring out of the wedge at the top so that it wouldn't ratchet anymore and I drilled a hole through it and the pedal arm and I put a pin through there. So what I do is, use a screwdriver to pull the quadrant to put pressure on it (get slack out of the cable) then engage the wedge in the teeth, put the pin it and there you have it. It's kinda ghetto, but it is adjustable and it's cheap. And I like the feel of it a whole lot better than aftermarket pedals. I'm thinking about making some kind of mechanism with a worm gear that you could adjust with. But, I need to go over to my friends machine shop and take my pedal with me. Anyway, that's how I do it.
