I lengthened an arm on a DD plate car recently and got a shorter(non 568)cable for it. Had to jack up the arm to get the clip on the bottom of the cable but that setup engaged about an inch down from fully out.

So what you pretty much did is take all the adjustment out of the auto adjuster. My clutch used to be like that with a different clutch arm but it was a little "too much" and it was riding the clutch.
I am sure if I put more spacers on I could achieve that. I dont think our auto adjuster likes heavy pressure plates.
Neither does the cable ends......
At least the longer arm goes easier on them.
go to the cable section of home depot and get some cable that will slide into the stock sheath. terminate the cable with a loop at the end using the crimp on thingies. drill the stock pedal for a bolt across it and put it through the loop and secure it on the other side. run the cable up over the quadrant thing and through the sheath and through the hole in the arm. terminate the other end in a creative way so that you can slide washers here and there to take out the slack. you could make some kind of threaded thing too.
if i ever have to run a dual diaphragm, ill be making my own cable.
i made a cable for my nissan sentra cause the old one broke when i was at home depot.

I drove it thursday night and the clutched seemed to work good. Maybe better then before. I dont know if it was completely disengaging before because the shifts were really easy with the 1" or so of shims I added. I didnt pay a lot of attention to the clutch pedal though. I will get more feedback on it later. Its definitly a lot easier though.
Before, when I drove that car, if I got in my stock clutch Spirit, it would feel like the stock clutch had snapped the cable because in comparison it felt weightless. This would even happen days later.
Thought maybe the clutch was slipping recently on drag radials but we found out that the drag radials "hop" when they are barely breaking loose and vibrate the whole car.
Clutch was able to spin 4th gear from a roll on drag radials a few nights ago.
So it seems to be handling the load so far. Will see what happens when it gets over 500ft/lb in the future.
No problems with the extended arm. Definitely easier on the leg.
Glad to hear the clutch is working well for you. I m sure it will hold up at 500 ft/lbs also.Keep us informed.
Happy Holidays!

Well I calculated it "should' hold well over 800ft/lb but Ill never find out lol.
This last year was nice because I only spent money on a pressure plate beyond normal maintenance and small crap.
