OK someone else will post a pic, but I'll try to guide you through this blind.
You know where the clutch slave cylinder is, on the top of the bell housing to L (driver's side) of center, yup?
Once you find that, look on the R (passenger side) of the bell housing in about the same place, the same distance to R of centerline as the slave cylinder is to L, but about an inch lower, and somewhat hidden in front of the freewheel mechanism. You will find a 5/16" square clutch adjuster screw surrounded by a 1/2" hex locknut. The clutch adjustment is accomplished by turning the 5/16" square screw with a 5/16" open end wrench, until the free play fore-and-aft on the slave cylinder pushrod on the L, under the rubber boot, is about 1/16"-1/8" (exact spec in your book), then tightening the 1/2" hex locknut to lock the 5/16" square screw in place, then rechecking free play at the pushrod, then test driving and adjusting to taste for the pedal feel you desire, ie the clutch engagement (vehicle movement) may begin as soon as you lift the pedal, or may not begin until the pedal is 1"-2" off the floor, any position is OK as long as you have some (say 1/16" minimum) free play at the slave cylinder pushrod.
OK?
