Clutch adjustments are best done with flywhl out and on the drill press table. Adjust finger heights by locking quill. If you have a pinion bearing race from a rear axle, that is a good support in place of the crank flange. Face a piece of round stock for the chuck and use as a stylus with a feeler gauge. To get the flywhl out use 2 4-5 inch bolts threaded into the clutch outer perimeter. Eventually, keep an eye out for taller jackstands. I got lucky and found 4 Blackhawk 10 ton stands that are 28" highest and 18' low, all for $100. Almost like having a lift. Good luck.
