Hi kinglenario, what SPF car number, bell housing, clutch, engine and trans do you have? Most SPF with a standard clutch fork have a hydraulic slave cylinder which is located on the driver's side of the bell housing. The slave moves an actuator rod which has two nuts jammed on it that when loosened allow movement of the actuator rod in or out (to effectively shorten or lengthen the rod). This is how the clutch is adjusted for release point, assuming that the slave is fully retracted (need to bleed the slave forcefully before adjusting rod). Make sure your hydraulic fluid is fresh and clean. Sometimes there may not be enough free pedal obtained in the fork and there may be spacer washers between the jam nuts and fork, one or more of these may need to be removed. Basically it's a standard slave cylinder clutch rod system and you need to get your car up on stands all around and get underneath to examined the bell housing and slave cylinder setup then you will see how the system is set up. Obviously it can be different if your car has a custom install, hydraulic throw-out bearing or whatever. There is a tech article on SCOF about standard SPF clutch adjusting and bleeding which is a good reference, check there for more details, and good luck!

kinglenario - What Don said, plus, once you get the master and slave properly bled and adjusted, you can also change the pedal height at which the clutch engages by moving the locknuts on the threaded shaft that goes between the pedal and master cyl. You'll find these under the dash, behind the pedal. Removing the steering wheel makes access easier, unless you're young and limber. If I remember correctly, moving the locknuts toward the front gives more pedal travel before clutch engagement. Also as Don says, check out SCOF. It's an excellent source of tech info.
Good luck.
