Default Clutch Pedal Postion Switch Adjustment?

Just completed a master cylinder swap on a 93LT1 which has gone horribly, but seems to be under control now. It seems one of the casualties may have been the clutch pedal position switch. I push the clutch in, no start. I jump the connector and it fires right up. Is there a way to adjust this switch? Is it common for it to come out of adjustment when you are moving the pedal all around every which way? I did accidentally pull the pedal all the way up and the cruise control switch slipped almost all the way out, would that break the position switch? I cant find anything in the FSM about it and it doesnt look fun to remove/replace.

Manual doesn't mention that it's adjustable. Verify the link rod that operates the switch is still attached on both ends. Problem could be due to your clutch pedal travel problem.

Hmm, didnt think to actually watch if the switch was moving. Everything looked connected. I did fix the travel problem, I somehow managed to get the slave push rod up over the fork so everything was all maxed out. I moved the floor mat and everthing and still nothing on the switch. I guess I could test the connector, it should go from open to closed on a continuity test right? See if its toast or just needs some more travel....

Yes you can test it with an ohm meter.
My guess is something is wrong with the link rod.
