You are correct in assuming that 3/4" is pretty standard for the Master Cyl. I believe that 's what is specified most commonly. A 7/8" slave is what I have with a 3/4" master. The lever in my application moves rearward to disengage the clutch. It is a '65 vintage application with a "Long" style pressure plate. With those two cylinders sizes there is ample movement for proper clutch function. Pedal pressure is quite manageable. Pictures in my gallery.

Have you bled the system thouroughly?? Take all of the free play out of the pedal, bleed it and then readjust it.
