<VV> Clutch Adjustment

[Andy Clark]

Rick, adjust the clutch cable swivel one turn at a time. In your case,
you'll need to shorten it. The adjustment is a sensitive
one and you need to be sure to leave the requisite slack so that the TO
bearing does not run continuously on the clutch fingers (unless you're using
the Camaro TO brg).

> Since I installed heavier carpet-type floor mats in the '65 Monza last
fall, I've had a bit of a struggle with the clutch.  I can get it in gear
and drive the car but I must make a conscious effort to push the clutch
pedal all the way into the mat when shifting.

someone offer specific advice on what needs to to be done so that the clutch
begins to engage further from the floor?  I assume that I'll need to move
the adjustment nut on the clutch rod one way or the other?  Approximately
how far?
