Is the spring under the dash still there? if it is, is it adjusted properly, it helps take some load off the pedal. There is some info on how to set it up in the workshop manual.  Use the bigest diameter slave cylinder (Toyota or Holden) with the smallest diameter master cylinder, that will give you maximum mechanical advantage. How far off the floor is the clutch engaging?
