Some snags with my conversion

The clutch pedal sits much deeper than the brake. It allows for some adjustment with a tab, but that only pushes it further down. To engage the brake light (or disengage i guess) the brake pedal sits 2" higher. Very confusing

Second, using the hydramax 1-23 bearing with the spacer. I have read elsewhere that the spacer is too thick, and not enough shims if you go pure shims. I am + 100 thou with just the spacer. I was thinking of milling off 250 thou on the spacer plus maybe the thickness of one shim to give me some wiggle room? anyone else done this?

I think someone said the Ford spacer is narrower still with the 1" diameter. Seems silly that i would have to buy this after already buying the bearing kit.

Lastly. The Hydramax comes pre bled. Does that change the air gap? One guide I was looking at talked about once its bled the gap of 150 thou you set pretty much disappears, not sure if that is accurate. Of course then I am overthinking wondering if zero air gap would be best. The instructions are ridiculous from American Powertrain in my opinion.
