Mcleod clutch with no peddle feel

I just installed a new mcleod clutch in my 68 charger. It was pieced together by brewers based on my engine combo. I installed it with a 1/4" of space between the throwout bearing and the pressure plate. Thats what the mcleod instructions say to do. when i depress the peddle it has no resistance at all. I havent started the new engine so im not sure if it will work ok. How much resistance is there in your guys clutches. Its the diaphragm style

can you put it into gear?

I think a 1/4" might be too much, but I don't know. I have a 3 finger hydro clutch and the directions said to have between .125 and .180 (or somewhere around there) of space from the bearing to the fingers. I usually set it at just less than 3/16"

Yeah it shifts into all the gears. I have to push the peddle about half way down before i get any resistance. once i get the car going i can mess with it more but i was just curious if that is how a diaphragm pressure plate feels

It's a diaphram clutch you have to remove the big over center spring off the clutch peddle, mopars did not use that type of clutch originally

I took the spring out.

then that's the way it is .

.......Mopars really don't "respond" well to those diaphram clutches,........should have gone with a 3 finger Borg/ Beck design in the 2400-2800 lbs range.......usally with the diapham set ups, any high rpm shifts, usally result with the pedal "laying" on the floor.....from my experiences .......lets us know how you make out.........
