Default Clutch issues

I have a 351W, King Cobra clutch-pressure plate & throwout, Ford Motorsports Bellhousing & a T5 trans. I am running the cable clutch assy. The Cobra is not running yet but after hooking everything up and pressing the clutch pedel I feel pressure like the pressure plate in being pressed (more or less) but it feels more like if everything is not moving but the cable is stretching. Kind of like if you put a cheeter bar on a wrench that is on a tight bolt and if you keep pulling the bar bends. That is the feel that I get. I have to run the adjuster on the clutch cable about 3/4 the way up the threaded part to get the play out of the clutch pedal. Could this be because the throwout bearing is too short and I am not getting enough throw on the clutch pedel? The clutch pedel feels the same way all of the way to the floor. I hope that I have not confused everybody. I almost confused myself just writing this.
