I have a '67 small block and was wondering if the clutch pedal height (above the floor) can be adjusted to more closely match the height of the brake pedal (car has power brakes)? It is nearly 2" higher than the brake pedal now, and very uncomfortable to shift.

Re: C2 clutch
No. Clutch pedal height is dictated by the stop on the pedal brace under the dash. If you had standard brakes both pedals would be at/near the clutch height.- Top

Re: C2 clutch
A little ingenuity might do the trick, as I did after I installed power brakes on my Cosworth Vega. The brake pedal ended up lower than the clutch pedal, and I always felt the clutch pedal had excessively long throw.
I lowered the clutch pedal height by using a hood bumper (I think I had to modify it a little with an Exacto knife) in place of the standard clutch pedal bumper, then adjusted the clutch to minimum freeplay spec, which is about a half inch, and with this amount of freeplay, engagement is about an inch off the floor.
Even though I did not change the actual mechanical ratio, the clutch feels much quicker and the throw is more suitable to my 32" inseam.

The '67 clutch pedal bracket with the pin for the pushrod is welded solid to the pedal; the '66 and earlier bracket is bolted to the pedal, with two locations (regular and quick-release).- Top
