Default clutch engagement; early

My 90 has the clutch engaging right off the the floor....good pedal pressure and fluid levels are ok, master is newer as is slave. Any thoughts?

No both cars have the same pedal height, wondering if the slave is bad

Lee,
Had the same problem on my 94 when I changed to a very grabby kevlar clutch disk. After going through a few spindles at the strip I changed over to Center Force dual friction disk and all is well now.

On other cars, my experience was that replacement flywheel dimensions and clutch mix-n-match changed the geometry enough to put the friction point way at one end of the pedal stroke. These were cable operated designs though, but that is the first thing that comes to mind. The pivot point is probably a good place to check.

Did it have this symptom straight after doing the new master and slave?
Or did it develop later?

Did you inspect to see that slave seals were oriented properly?
