HELP new clutch can't push pedal down
New member here, I just put a 350 chevy in my 42 chevy 1/2 ton I have a saginaw 4 speed 366 rear-end, my problem is I didn't have enough room for a mechanical linkage so i found a cable and made brackets to mount it I bought and installed a new clutch kit now I can't push the clutch pedal more than 1/2 inch before it stops, any ideas? thanks in advance

I will take some pictures, after i posted the first time, I went out and looked at all my adjustments, there is an allen head bolt (looks like a plug) that I thought would remove the little ball for the throw out arm, it tightened the arm and I was able to get some pedal movement, does that make sense?

Sorry I couldn't get back, I solved my problem, one of the ears on the clutch arm was broken, so it couldn't pivot, works great now thanks.
