How do I Adjust my clutch? I have a 75 with a 350 in it, and it doesn't feel like i have all that much power, but it did at one point. I'm just guessing this is the clutch, any other sugestions would be nice too. Thanx

I recently replace my clutch on my fj40 with a chevy small block. it was a pain in the ass to get it back in. But i did notice a signifigant amount of power return after i installed it, As for adjustment i just took out all of the slack in the fork adjuster and the drove it until i liked it. I heard that you should get it to where it starts to grab when the pedal is about half way out

that's correct! you do want as much freeplay as possible or you'll smoke the throwout bearing. don't go overboard either or you'll eat the disc up.
