Test drive was a success. After adjusting the new clutch cable, I put a piece of rubber hose over the threaded metal sheathing and tightened 3 small clamps over the hose. This is to keep it from self-adjusting. The pedal feels better than before...it's smoother through the whole range of travel (obviously). Also, pedal effort has been reduced, which I was hoping for based on what Bne experienced.
Swapped the front bars between cars, so the '87 has the 21 now and the DD '92 has the 28. Quite a weight savings there...
Drove the car to work today, too. This car corners like a snake in a rat hole.
