4 Speed Pedals 67-76

Just finished my auto to 4 speed conversion on a 72 Swinger ,Bought a set of pedals off Ebay i belive them to be early A body 66? because the pads are not rectangle they taper inwards like the older style, They fit and function perfectly but i had to adjust the clutch rod nut pretty tight to get solid clutch engagment now i am a bit concerned that i may get premature wear on the throwout bearing and clutch fingers how firm is throwout bearing supposed to press against clutch fingers when depressed?
