Clutch taking high up?
So on my 67 F-100, the clutch takes really far up towards the top when you let the pedal out, like, the last two inches is all you get to use, the rest of the movement does nothing at all it seems like, was it normal for them to do this, everything for the clutch is new aside from the throw-out arm, and if it isn't normal i am wondering, how do you adjust this out so it takes further towards the floor and i can have more control to possibly make the tires spin and the truck not move, if you catch my drift.
The clutch and pressure plate are a ram clutches OE style replacement for the model with three fingers, and the flywheel is a factory spec for a 1969 351w, if that makes any difference.
Now this question may be stupid, i don't know, if it is ill just put on the dunce cap and deal with it, but im not sure so ill ask here.

There should be an adjusting rod connecting the z-bar on the clutch linkage to the throw-out bearing arm, reducing the length of that adjusting rod should bring the clutch engagement closer to the floor. It doesn't take much adjustment down there to make a big difference at the pedal. If the adjusting rod is anything like the setup in the dents there are a couple nuts on a threaded rod that you turn to make the adjustment.
