problems after replacing my clutch

87 f150 300 I6 4x4
got my new clutch in and it isnt completly disengaging, is there a way to bleed the hydrualic system[feels like if i could go another 1/4 inch or so id be good]
seccond problem, during my test drive i noticed the truck was lagging down at idle [ originally contributed this problem to improper disengagement of the clutch ] but then it stalled on a hill and wouldnt restart, my ignition is messed up to begin with, my starter is operated by a button becuase th key wont engage it just clicks. im not very familiar with this system and im woundering how to test the relay and how to diagnose my ignition switch properly before i go droping a pump in

On the clutch part, my 89 did the same thing. I ended up putting body shims between the clutch master cylinder and the firewall to give me the extra I needed. I'm still in search of a proper solution but it works fine. I just don't like having to fix things in such a manner

im not quite positive thatll work, the way u describe it, ,it should only work if it mounts on the inside of the firewall, im positive mine mounts on the outside. am i missing something or did i just misunderstand?

Well mine mounts on the outside(in the engine bay) and we had to play with the number of shims to get it right. I don't understand how exactly it worked either but my buddies dad told us to try it. He has a garage and works for ford at the Louisville plant
