K...let me finish it now.......

These are the two bolts that are on the rod that connects to the clutch through the firewall. They are behind and at the top of the pedal.

Loosen the 12mm....now with your hand, if you're laying on your back looking up at this and holding it from the top of the bolt, twist the smaller 10mm bolt to the right (toward the foot stop). You'll see that the end of the bolt is moving toward the back of the clutch pedal. The more you move that bolt towards the pedal, the closer to the floor the cluth will engage. Make sure you have some play in the top of the throw. I think the shop manual has it at something like .2 inches.....not a lot. Needless to say to pull the clutch engagement away from the floor, twist the 10mm to the left and the bolt head will move toward the firewall. Fire it up and check to make sure your happy with the catch point and then tighten the 12mm back up, just snug. Not too tight or you may break the clutch bracket.

Here is another link to someone else's instructions........
