Adjusting the clutch means adjusting the clevis rod in the clutch trunion nut on the pedal..Look at Les Andrews section 2 page 8.
The movement of the clutch pedal is limited by this collar(see picture) on the end of the pedal shaft.
When the pedal is fully released/up or your foot is not on the pedal it should rest against this collar. If it does not something is binding or sticking, or that small spring on the top of the throwout bearing carrier is either the wrong spring or it has been stretched.
Adjusting the clutch per Les Andrews section 2 page 8 moves the throwout bearing either closer to the pressure plate or further from as necessary with the clutch pedal fully up.
There are drawings in the book to help you....look at the section for pedals, 1-231 or the clutch 1-65
Stick with it you will get it figured out...
Here is a picture of the collar on the end of the pedal shaft..
