How can I adjust my clutch. I have to push the pedal all the way to
the floor and I can barely get it into gear. When I do get it in gear
it only takes about 1/2 inch up on clutch pedal for the car to start
moving. I do know that you can pull back on the pedal and then push
down on it to adjust it. But that doesnt work. Clutch cable stretched
out? Clutch pad wore out?
Thanks for your help.

Clutch cable is fraying / stretching .
Replace it.

I know this method works on Fox body Mustangs and it may work on yours.
Pull up on the clutch pedal with about 10-15 lbs. of force and then
push it all the way to the floor. It will click if it is making an
adjustment. Do this several times until it stops clicking. This was
designed into the clutch mechanism of the older Fox Mustangs but I don't
when, or if, they stopped using it. Give it a try.

I spaced the part where you mentioned where you worked the pedal.
