John,

Bleed the clutch with the back of the car significantly higher than the front.

If there is a return spring on the throwout lever, remove it.

Without pressure on the clutch pedal, adjust the threaded link between the slave and the throwout arm so that you can push the link into the slave about 1/4" (with the throwout arm gently pushed toward the back).

You should get 5/8"-3/4" throw at the throwout arm when you push the clutch pedal all the way to the floor.

If the clutch doesn't fully disengage, you may have to raise the clutch pedal by lengthening the link between the master cylinder and the cross-shaft arm. If you can't get adequate movement then, a larger master cylinder may be needed, but we find that they rarely needed on a big block.
