New ford racing tob, ford racing clutch lever and ford oem pivot ball stud installed. The chirping is gone for now, hopefully it stays that way for a long time. I have high hopes this time around because the clutch feels and engages exactly as I remember it did when it was all stock, and that original tob lasted all the way to 84k miles when I pulled it out doing longtubes and new clutch.
Also, I'm happy to note that pedal slop is 100% gone. No rattling pedal at any rpm now. What a huge difference a new lever and pivot stud make. Not changing those two items would be a mistake if you're already in there and the car has any real miles on it. Another thanks to Mach351 for the lever!
