Clutch Rod and Pedal Problems

If I remember right the pedal is free without the rod on it...which way is it supposed to be oriented so I can check if it's backwards or not. I think there was only way I could get it on, but I could be wrong. I'd be willing to double check.
It was converted from a 225/904 to a 318/A833. The zbar and the pedals and the pushrod (that's the one from the pedal to the zbar right?) were from a v8 a body barracuda. The threaded rod and the clutch return spring were from Ed Miller...he said it could've been from an E body.
Thanks for the help...let me know if you have anything else.
