Clutch adjustment 83 SC

Installed all new clutch and related components ( including the spring )2000 miles ago.
Recently adjusted it again to the specs in Bentley's and Wayne's 101.
The car idles at 1000 rpm in neutral but when I depress the clutch pedal the rpms kick up to about 1200.
I am assuming that the tension on the cable is a wee bit too much and that I
need to back it off a bit. Open to suggestions from those of you that know more about it than me. Thank you in advance - Dennis

Possibly the throttle linkage is interfering with the clutch cable.

You may need to crawl down on the floor with a mirror and a flashlight and have a look. Once I discovered the interference, I pulled the clutch cable and re-routed it.

+1 easy enough to re-route incorrectly after drop/install of engine and trans.
