     Don,
     The hot tip for clutch master replacement is to leave the pushrod
     attached to the pedal. Remove the bolts holding the old master in
     place, pull it forward (which will pull the pedal to the floor) then
     use snap ring pliers to remove the snap ring holding the pushrod to
     the master. Remove the body of the master. Take your new master
     apart in a similar fashion. Slide the new master over the old
     pushrod, install the snap ring then bolt it in.
     No adjustment of the pushrod, no fiddling around on your back under
     the dash.
     Wilkinson taught me that trick....

     Don, if you post a pic of your master cyl linkage under the dash, we
     could tell you whether you have the reduction linkageA
