    I have been trying to read thru all discussions on whats need and how to do the t5 swap in a 77 mav.

    Here what i have. Im running a 93 cobra motor with a carb. Aod trans with crossmember I got from frank off here some years ago. aluminum 5.0 driveshaft.
    I have the the maverick stick pedals and t5 trans.

    ? Is what clutch cable do i use with the power brakes. And last but not least im missing the spring on the pedals for for the clutch anyone were to get a replacement?

    No, just wondered. On mine I used my old Lakewood bell with a T5 adaptor plate and kept the mechanical clutch linkage.
