Best to do final adjustment with the floor boards in place and the pedal bumpers changed to new, make sure the pedal return spring is attached. You can do rough adjustment with toe boards off. In the end you want 3/4" to 1" of pedal pad free travel before the throwout bearing touches the fingers on the pressure plate. The throwout bearing should not touch the fingers of the pressure plate when the pedal is at rest.
