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 ??

The first thing I would say if you're Street driving it I would definitely put a diaphragm clutch in it when the time came. I've ran one even drag racing and while they're a little crappy racing they're great on the street and easy-to-use and almost maintenance-free. And nothing expensive, just a good heavy duty clutch.
Now on the other hand if you're Racing for points and competition definitely have a window put in it and keep the three-fingered clutch. My-2.
