Tightening the clutch cable (CJ)

My clutch pedal has been acting a bit funny lately. It seems to release extremely HIGH from the floor. Almost at the top.
I think this should be a simple matter to fix, I'm thinking that i just have to take up the slack on the cable a bit, but i wanted to ask around a bit before i started tinkering around with it.
I mostly want to know if someone can give me a good idea of exactly WHERE i need to make the adjustment.
 

On my 1983 CJ7 the clutch adjustment is just outside the bell housing on the driver's side. You should be able to see where the clutch linkage comes out of the firewall down to a pivot point at the base of the firewall and then there is an adjusting nut between the pivot point and where it enters the bell housing.
