Am I missing something that has to do with the transmission gearing (I have the shift tower off of the transmission.
Can someone tell me what I may me missing.
I appreaciate whatever help you can give to me.

I just looked at your pictures closely. Like nkaminar said, check to make sure the forks are in the throwout bearing carrier slots correctly. I also see you have the new style clutch shaft arm on there, which is longer than the stock arm by about half an inch. When installed properly, the arm should be sticking almost straight back, like toward the back of the car, when the throwout bearing is up against the pressure plate fingers. When you pull the clutch pedal back as far as it will go, the trunnion should reach that arm, no problem. If not, a couple options-
1- Get longer threaded trunnion.
2- Readjust the pressure plate fingers (I did a video showing how).
