Steve, here is what I do (don't know if it "right" but it works for me).
The objective is to have a nice "tight" clutch an still ensure full release of the throwout bearing from the clutch fingers.
I tighten (expand) the adjusting rod unitl I just fell no slop in the movement of the clutch fork and throwout bearing. I just wiggle it by hand. Then I adjust (collapse) the rod until I can feel what I believe to be about 1/16" of free play in the throwout bearing relative to the clutch fingers (kinda rattles). This is not much movement.
This results for me in about 1" of pedal play inside the car.
