Reply to "I can't get clutch slave pushrod length to spec. (it's too long) - any ideas?"

To set free play: disconnect the slave push rod from the actuating arm (remove the pin), manually move the clutch arm back and forth feeling for when the fingers pressure up on the throw out bearing. Adjust the stop bolt to get the .102" free play before the arm pressures on the throw out.

There are so many combination of aftermarket slave (stock, long throw etc.) the 3.07" to 3.09" is somewhat meaningless, you probably have a long throw slave, forget about this setting!

Push on the slave piston and check the distance the slave cylinder bottoms from the actuator arm, set you push rod a little shorter so the slave is not bottomed at rest.

Check clutch pedal function and point of clutch engagement, can also check you have a minimum 0.04" between the flywheel and friction plate through the bell housing hole.

Get in, start engine, engage gear, drive happily!
