Clutch adjustment help

[Targa77]

Today I decided to attempt to adjust my clutch. The pedal had some play and I figured that as long as I have Wayne's book at my side, no problem. Well, I followed the instructions verbatim and now my friction point is about an inch off of the floor. Also, the pedal doesn't travel back but about half the distant. I'm frustrated at this point because this is supposed to be a fairly simple task, or so I thought. I've tackled bigger chores than this with no problem but I need some bailing out guys.

You need to double check the movement adjustment amount.

Here's the paragraph from the tech article.

Once you have the entire assembly installed, you are ready to adjust your clutch cable. With the cable completely disconnected, adjust the small adjustment screw, shown previously in Figure 18, until you have a clearance gap of 1.2 mm. This procedure is shown in Figure 21. Tighten up the adjusting screw with the lock nut. Now, attach the new clutch cable end (Figure 19) to the small hook on the lever arm, as previously shown in Figure 9. Tighten up the clutch cable until the clearance gap between the small arm and the release arm decreases to 1.0 mm. This procedure is shown in Figure 22. If you have trouble meeting this distance within the range of travel of the adjusting nuts, then you might need to readjust your trunion pin on the other end of the clutch cable. Now, check the clutch release travel. Reinstall the floorboard over the pedal cluster. Measure the distance that the release lever travels when the pedal is pressed (you will need an assistant for this one). Figure 23 shows the length that you should measure. Take a measurement of this distance, and then have your assistant step one the clutch pedal. Then take another measurement. This travel, which is the result of the first measurement minus the second measurement, should be 25 mm +- 0.5 mm. If this travel is not within this range, then adjust the floor stop on the floorboards (Figure 24) to obtain this travel distance.

If this doesn't get it. Unhook everything. And do it again. You'll get it.
