Funny thing is that even though my 69 has 67 linkage setup, Jeep 10.9" fly wheel clutch etc. And the T5. It still is pretty much all in or out in the same 3"s !  I can adjust where the three inches is. But it is still 3"s.

Oh I have lots of pics. I'm making an entire 195.6 OHV project build page.

Well the TSM says 30 weight is OK. 20W-50 I hope is "close". My guess is
that the synchros will be too slow, but it's not a big deal to change it. I
wanted to peek inside anyways since it's been in there a year and a half and
if you recall, I screwed it up the first time! I apparently hadn't properly
seated the input shaft clip and it pushed in... since it's perfect in there
now I assume that was the case.

Not worth the effort of course. You just get used to it. It's disconcerting
because it permanently has the symptom of a badly adjusted clutch: all in at
the very top of the pedal. Fully disengaged by pushing the pedal 3 inches
with one finger! Working perfectly, as designed. Yep, for grandma.
