I plan to take the car over to East Dundee.  It's going to cost but better to find out than me troubleshoot in the dark.  My mind tends to switch off when it comes to clutch forks and linkages.  It might as well be magic where I'm concerned.  I suppose I could take a deep dive into the subject matter but I'm taking the easy way this time.  Cobra Automotive said they would have to check for anything heavy duty manual because according to them, these days many are going with hydraulic clutches (even in their race cars) which surprised me.  I distinctly remember reading once that Cobra Automotive went with mechanical fuel pumps over electric fuel pumps in their race cars for reasons of greater reliability.  I would have thought that philosophy would have spilled over onto clutches.  Maybe not.

Thank you gentlemen.  I am overwhelmed with the great response.  Since 843 is a day two car I am going to go for upgrades.  The required work and replacement is over my head.  If I tried it I would screw it up somehow.  Cobra Automotive will charge to the rescue with their parts.  I have used them in the past and love the whole outfit.  I still dwell on those Trans Am lug nuts they sold me.  They look so choice on the Torqs.  I suppose when the term "twist" is used in reference to the Z bar it isn't some shifting of where it might be bolted to but an actual bending or distortion of the metal in the bar.  My best option is to get the Cobra Automotive parts and bring the car over to East Dundee's Mustang Restorations.  I will likely take the hit on labor but better that than trying a little science experiment in my garage.    The car was originally an automatic.  I cannot state where they pedal assembly came from.  Thank you all for your helpful input.

Good one!

After being on the road since 2012 and being reliable for the most part, problems are beginning to arise. This one involves the clutch pedal. It is not pulling far enough on the clutch to slip into gear as easy as before. And the pedal is spongy which suggests the return spring is losing its tensile strength? I attempted to adjust the pedal under the hood on the Z bar but it hasn't fully corrected the problem. Wondering if that rod is even correct for the setup. Also wondering if there is a secondary place under the dash for an adjustment or is something more insidious going on like loosened bracket(s)?

Something not seen until today. The rear caps are creating bat ears from the setting sun. Like the bat signal perhaps. Unusual.  Never a dull moment with that car I tell you.

My mistake. I mislabeled the car. I meant Super Snake.

You know it.  Stellantis is off the rails.  That new G.T. 500KR is a stunner.  Lots of carbon fiber.  And it burns carbon.  Win win!

But, but, but what about this? The deadly and lethal E Charger.

That's a bad ass car.  What kind of induction system did you have?  Your namesake may be an indication.  If so, how was that exotic setup?  I was suggesting the cross-boss for a friend but he seems to want to keep the stock carb on it.  The cross-boss aesthetically is very pleasing to the eye.

Isn't today the 60th anniversary of the release of the Mustang?

Yes the Shelby VIN tag exists and it is on a restored car. Period reports and previous owners indicate how little of 105 is left from when it departed SA.

From memory, the cat in the box cannot be simultaneously both alive and dead?
Since matter can neither be created nor destroyed, it exists somewhere else, neither here nor there, and not necessarily as a cohesive whole but rather in sub atomic particles scattered across the globe.

Much like Schrödinger's Cat? 

See how many people get this.......
