CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT

[paul1969cars]

Hi

I have two b bodies cars

one with 838 and 4 speed
one with 440 and 4 spd

both with new borg and beck clutch with original overspring installed under dash

Is there a way to adjust the clutch

The 383 set up grabs so high

and

the 440 setup grabs ok but pedal is so easy and not stiff

Looks like you’ve had this answered already?
CLUTCH PEDAL

I ruined a clutch because I adjusted for the free play at the pedal. The throw out bearing was riding on the pressure plate fingers and the bearing seized.

Now I adjust it down below. Remove the inspection cover and adjust the air gap between the bearing and the PP fingers to about 3/16", cycle the clutch and check it again. . Let the pedal height be what it is. It will work perfectly.
