I Just put my 455 4 speed back in the car. Put the clutch linkage back on with the new return springs, new clutch, throughout bearing, clutch rod, new clutch arm?
Any way when I got it all adjusted and pushed on it it really felt soft, Mind you I have not driven this car before so I have nothing to relate to it. I dont feel any real pressure when depressing the pedel.
So how much resistance should there be in a 69 goat with a saginaw 4 speed?
I think it is soft enough to push in with my hand.

Diaphram pressure plates are very soft compared to a 3 finger plate. What type are you using?

I always had someone step on the pedal to floor and slip in .026 feelers guage between clutch and pressure plate . This is a good start, to know the clutch is disengaging .and try it on street.
