If I shoved the clutch in and released it. The pedal would look normal I guiess. But I can grab it with my hand and pull a inch or so and feel the pedal go over center Then you have too much free play in the pedal. Forget about the free play measurement at the pedal and set it at the fork like the book says.

You need to adjust the clutch with the pedal all the way up. The over center spring should hold it there. Then adjust the clutch linkage so the bearing has no more than a half inch movement before it contacts the forks. Then when you push on the pedal it should only move an inch or two before you can feel the bearing engage the forks and release the clutch. That's a good starting point for final adjustment once the car is running.

Climbed back under the car... If..... ya shove clutch pedal down. And release. The throw out bearing rest on the fingers of pressure plate If I grab the pedal by hand and pull it up 2 inches or so. Until it rest on the bump stop. Then it does not. For the life of me I can't fig out why the pedal does not fully come up

I took another look at your pics and it looks like the "Z" bar may be binding in this pic. The nut on the right looks off plane to me. Also, take a close look and make sure its not rubbing on the exhaust header. It looks awful close in the pic.

It seams that there is a hole on the z bar and that is where I put the spring. Was told it should connect to the bellhousing. So I went to the shop and moved it to the bellhousing. But it didn't help any Stanton. Thank you I sent the new pics to your email

I can adjust the rod more towards the end but the t.o. bearing will touch all the time even if pedal is all the way up.

Update...again lol I placed the pedal so with little movement will break over on its own (in limbo) And adjusted the rod till I heard the pedal brakes over I adjusted it more while using some heavy paper between finger and t.o. bearing to make sure wasn't touching. I got it where it would come all way up on its own. But after shoving pedal down 5-6 times notice each time it got a little less closer to the top...my thoughts on this is the shoulder of the new nut working into the new washer It does make a hard thud/clunk when the pedal hits the stop. Is something missing? I know it don't do/sound like that when new lol
