Re: Clutch adjust.
you want about an inch, to inch ana half of free travel before you feel the pedal hit the pressure plate. to get this, get under the car, pull on the clutch pedal to study the way it works, then remove the pin on the fork so you can turn it which ever way in needs to go to get proper free travel at the pedal. sort of a generic how to as i am not a 47 guy, but most all cars are similar, just study how it works

Re: Clutch adjust.
There is a clevis attached to the clutch mechanism. You want to undo the pieces that will allow you to move the clevis on the threaded rod. This is the adjustment. It can be difficult to reach from the bottom. If needed, the front floorboard can be removed to greatly improve access.
