One quick question. Did you remove the clutch cable from arm when you set the initial gap at #2? If so, then I am going to agree with Marc, the release fork may have developed a crack which has allowed it to bend. It can't be that the cable is too long for the issue you describe, since the cable should be disconnected when you set the initial gap.
The only thing #1 arm does is to pull the release fork back to release the pressure on the pressure plate when you depress the clutch. It's a lot of pressure on a part that is not that strong and failure is common, which is why Wayne includes a new release fork in his super clutch kit. It could also been the release fork pin.
IIRC, a bent arm would create too large a gap like you have. It's a pain, motor has to come out, then you start into the while I am in there. I would at least examine the clutch, PP, flywheel, release guide, crank seal, etc.
Let us know what you ultimately conclude. I have an '86 as well.
