That article is really good.
I hope you either installed a new flywheel with the correct step height, or your stocker should've been resurfaced and then restepped.

First things first, climb under your steering column and look at the clutch pedal assembly.
Use your hand on the pedal and look around and see if you can see the slop in the assembly.
2600's are notorious for creating this problem because they have so much pedal pressure.

You may need to adjust your clutch pedal push rod.
There is a rod that goes thru the firewall and attaches to your clutch pedal.
There is a 12mm nut on that rod backed up against a bracket that attaches to your clutch pedal.
I used a flare nut wrench, or a line wrench.
That nut feels really soft, and a regular wrench will round the nut off.
Lossen that nut and turn the rod using a 1/4" wrench, there are two little flats on that rod.
If I remember correctly, turn the adjusting screw counter clockwise to raise the pedal.
If I were you, I'd call the mechanic and ask him if he'd be willing to adjust it for you, and to check out the clutch pedal assembly.
