I am new to mechanical clutch linkage and am trying to figure out how it actualy fits together and works. I have not yet bought any but I'm trying to figure it out before I buy. Worst case scenario I'll just do A hydraulic throwout bearing but it would be nice to see how it works.
 
Open up a factory service manual for the applicable vehicle.
 
I don't know if this is what you are looking for or not. The linkage is not all that different from the pic from the web for this corvette one. The pedal links up to the z bar, which runs between the bell housing (pivot stud) and another on the frame (I believe). The other side of the z bar connects up to a rod that pushes the fork in and out and this engages the throwout bearing. There probably is a mopar one up there somewhere or in one of the factory service manuals.

Mechanical rod from clutch pedal hooks to a bell crank...another rod goes from bell crank to clutch fork that pivots in the bell housing and pushes against a throwout bearing that disengages the clutch. You can do a Google search for pics....
 
The only adjustment is at the clutch fork.....
 
I suggest you go to Brewer Performance website. They specialize in Mopar transmissions and clutch-linkage parts. They have pictures of the parts, and what they fit. It is important to use the correct parts to make the linkage work as Ma Mopar intended. Even the clutch fork pivot in the bellhouse is important...as I found out..............................MO
 
A B&B is something like this...........
