That is the exact problem. It has been put through the firewall at an improper angle. Slightly wrong but it was wrong. If you get a new one and have it run through in the correct geometry AND the round "eye" is free to move when the cable is pushed, it wont break for 100,000 miles, really! I have truly replaced a dozen of them and everyone one,the geometry was wrong.

Us the same OEM Ford cable-re-align it and you should never have to replace it!

PS The part numbers Terry supplied via "Spanky" are correct-NAPA has great replacement cables; 1979 Mustang 302 cable D9ZZ-7K553-B or Napa # 615-1008.
