Hydrolic clutch

[Ricosan]

Well this is completely new to me. A Hydrolic clutch. I didn’t know there was such a thing on early V8s. My car is 1933 and for sure came with the basic “manual” clutch release but it looks like during the restoration, the builder decided to go with a Hydrolic clutch since the car was being fittedt for Hydrolic brakes at the time.

Currently I have to push the clutch all the way to the floor to shift without grinding. When I compress the clutch, it doesn’t engage the fingers on the flywheel until 3 - 3 1/2” down.

I would like to adjust so that it engages/disengages closer to 1 1/2 - 2” from the top. It looks like there are 2 adjustments shown in the photos. The ss at the top looks like if the cotter key was removed and the nut loosened, it could be adjusted. The black one just underneath the ss piece could be adjusted out after removing the cotter key and the pin.

What do I adjust? Both! Am I completely on the wrong tract? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
