Clutch won't return off floor

Deemo said
ok, 65 Plymouth valiant with three on the tree. New clutch, and it still will not come back off the floor. I don't even feel it disengage.

When I pushed it in, something felt like it snapped in the pedal. Figured pressure plate or throw out bearing. Ok. No big deal. Got a clutch, snatched it all out. Put it back in.

And..........

Clutch is still on the floor. :(

So, I check linkage, nothing looks bent. Obviously some slop, but not more than a quarter inch. Push the pedal in, and it does not come back. At all. I've adjusted the push rod allllllllllllllllllllll the way out, put a new spring on the linkage, and still nada clutch. Wth am I missing?

I have double checked everything. Could something be actually bent that I'm not noticing???

Sounds exactly like what I'm going through with my car. My problem is the Z bar bracket which is welded to the frame from the factory. One of the 2 factory welds broke free probably a while ago and this put pressure on the inner fender which is now tearing. The bracket insteading of holding everything in alignment shifts outward and the clutch stays on the floor. IMG_3760[1].JPG

Waiting on my friend who will be by next week to weld it and it will be much stronger than the the 2 small welds it left Michigan with.
