Clutch adjustment

[Tooljunkie]

Hello everybody, i tried searching choosing my words in different was but didint come up with the info i needed. My 49 fargo, adjusting the clutch. 

its a round shaft with a keyway and a bracket with adjuster bolts pointing fore and aft. I figured i could adjust for a little free play, but it seems now i have a noise. 
im guessing too much Play now. 

Need the setup procedure,would like it right. Now with complete exhaust and pcv adapted to the 318 2bbl carb/automatic choke it purrs like a kitten.

Thanks, that really helps. 
my clutch Was not engaging until pedal was near the top,so i disassembled the collar and freed everything up. Now i wasnt sure i had adjustment correct. I may pull cover and make sure its got free play at release bearing. 
thanks for the help!

To add, i dont think there should be any clearance between  clutch Pedal arm and set screws on the collar. I will check it today and verify. 
it was loose when i started, so i left the clearance.

Correct, you loosen both set screws. Make your adjustment for the clutch pedal arm, then tighten both set screws and tighten the lock nuts.

Got it done, when i started the one rearward bolt had clearance, and pedal was a little floppy. Now that both  bolts are snug, pedal feels better. No side to side like it was before. Adjusted column a little so its not dragging in the guides, it feels better to shift. 
now i just need to sort out the   brakes so i can putt it around.
