Clutch replacement

[Donc]

I purchased a 47 ford deluxe with a flathead 8. It needed a new clutch
I had replaced clutches before but not that old
I pulled the engine and replaced the clutch pressure plate and throw-out bearing. I reinstalled the engine and connected the clutch linkage
But when I stepped on the pedal it went down to the floor. Unfortunately I did more research after the replacement and saw the detail about adjusting the 3 screws on the pressure plate. Before I pull the engine again does anyone know if those screws could take up that much slack to bring the pedal up or do I have another problem
