Ron --

this is probably old ground for you, but on Digest, it is hard to go
back and look up old posts, so I don't have your whole story at my
fingertips-- so the question is, "Why did you replace the clutch in the
first place?"  Is this your first Corvair clutch?

If you replaced it because it is doing the same thing it is now, well,
the cable sounds like a possible culprit -- if it was working fine
before, just worn out, probably it's something else -- if this is a new
rig you just got put together, well, you be the only one who knows.

Helt's advice sounds good to me, under the circumstances. <break>

Okay, I just measured the travel on one that works, and it is about ¾",
so that sounds good. Did you put the disc in backwards?  The "cushion
springs go on the flywheel side of the hub".  These are not the springs
in the center of a non-stock spring loaded hub, but the wavy spring
between the friction material in a stock disc.  I know for a fact that
if you put one in backwards, it don't work right.

Godspeed!
