American Powertrain uses a bracket that allows adjustment angle of the MC for better rod alignment. Since I can not move the bracket any higher on the firewall without affecting the one of the 4 bolts that hold the pedal assy to the firewall. Will a 10 degree downward angle of the MC be a problem? This angle seems to provide a smooth and uninterrupted operation of the MC. (The rod angle can move up or down as it attached to the pedal assy via heim joint). Location on firewall seems to be the big issue.

Currently, I have the clutch rod attached to the lowest mounting hole on the clutch pedal assy which puts me at about ~3.25-.5" from the pivot point.

should be fine. Down is normal from what I've seen on the clutch master. Just use a remote reservoir mounted above it or a big enough reservoir on it so the fluid level is sufficient so it can't pull air.
