Ok, I got lucky living in an area that has some love for these cars and the local Volvo shop had one in stock for me. Got it done in a few hours minus the janky pedal setup by previous owner and a mishmash of nut sizes and improper tools.

The only problem now is the pedal is all the way up and the loop over the cable is not always engaged on the pedal to where I have to keep my foot on the pedal to drive. Is there something that keeps the pedal to a manageable height?

The PO had a bolt stacked with nuts for the top of the clutch to rest on but is a little jerry rigged.
I did find another thread on here that mentioned putting spacers on the clutch fork pivot to lessen the travel but that requires getting into the bellhousing.
