Default Clutch Question..... (pic)

I will be installing the clutch soon and I was getting my ducks in a row tonight....I placed everything together and saw that there was about .150" gap between the flywheel and the pressure plate. This is with the clutch just sitting in between. I have never done a clutch before and was wondering when I bolt everything together will it pull down, or is there suppose to be a gap???? I don't know.....

It's a RAM 6130/402 w/a factory flywheel.

Any help would be appreciated........

Here's a pic....

If it sat flush on the flywheel w/ the disc in there, it'd never clamp down <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

when you bolt the plate to the flywheel, the diaphram will compress
