Thanks Bob - I missed that.
Fiddled around a little more with it today. I took all the slack out from between the pedal arm and the master with the arm against the front of the floor opening. That brought the pedal back about 3/4 inch further. Double checked the slave adjustment and decided it was too tight and probably keeping the throwout engaged so I backed off it a little until I could see slight play inside the bellhousing. Looked at both the slave an master cylinder alignment with the pedal arm and clutch fork and decided they were about as good as they could get.
Went for a short ride to the corner gas station and pretty much decided I just need to get used to it and it will be OK. Slouching down in the seat just a little the pedal seemed in a good position now (helps me keep my head below the top of the windshield too). Take up is very smooth and linear. Hard to tell but probably starting to engage about 3 inches or a little more off of the end of the footbox. Haven't managed to stall the engine yet so I guess that's a positive note. I'm probably spoiled by my Mustang GT and it's twin disc clutch that 's about like driving a 4 cyl Toyota.
I'm kind of thinking to let this subject die for now and concentrate on the brakes and getting a good pedal with them.
Thanks
