New Clutch.....Problems

From all the replies, it sounds like adjusting the linkage will not correct my problem?
The car was raced back in 1974 then parked and has not move under its own power in 43 years.
I The clutch that I removed was a Schhiefer Borg and Beck. The new clutch kit that I bought from Rock Auto was sold under the name Valeo.
It beginning to sound like I will have to pull the tranny back out. Not looking forward to that.
