Clutch Adjustment

I have a 69 dart with a 340 4 speed transmission. When I bought it, the clutch was releasing when the pedal was 1/2" off the floor. It is hard to get in gear unless I really push the pedal hard on the floor. I wanted it to release closer to the top and bought all new pieces for the linkage as I thought that was the problem ..Wrong. The car came with a scattershield so there is no way to inspect what is inside. Any adjustment tips ??
point make sure all is in line as trans drive shaft. not hard find something and measure side to side any where . b cool sounds like . look at all the piviot points on all tyflon bushings. pedals zfork I callit . pedal has arod to a part that goses to bell housing. if they r or put in a thicker clutch. fiber I amold we used zoom. point thicker dick .b pressure plate grabs 200% better.
