the stack height affects the angle. gasket thickness also affects the angle. my lockup required higher than stock stack height for the clearance to be correct on the arms. to get the angle correct where i had enough adjustment again i had to shim the cover out more with extra gaskets. thicker or extra clutch cover gaskets make the stack height "act" lower
heres a page from the manual that shows angle

So if the stack height is thin the angle should be less than 60 deg. If the stack height is high the angle would be more than 60, correct?

i m having the exact same problem, i have changed everything, the stack height is 57.4 without the rings n my puller is not lookin like it supposed to b in the adjustment pic, I have heavy springs from brocks n to get the clutch to disengage completely i had to adjust the lever way out to compensate. My guess is i m to tall now but if i remove .4 mm i dont c how that will move the arm that much. looks like how its adjusted now, the clutch puller is never fully released
