Yeah, I know, but Ryan's post has completely confused me. The reason I suggested a jamb nut was to be sure that he is properly securing his cable before trying to adjust the clutch, instead of trying to adjust it at the clevis (which would be much too hard).
The rule of thumb, for '77 > clutch cables with an omega spring, is to set the clevis end by installing the clevis jamb nut with six threads of the cable showing AFTER the jamb nut is tightened. This prevents too much cable from sticking through the clevis and interfering with the pedal cluster clutch arm. Then all of the adjustment process can be done under the car.
