Default Clutch vs synchro diagnosis question

Maybe someone can help me with an answer to my question. Car is a ‘69 LeMans with a Muncie.

Having some shifting problems, here’s what’s going on:
1. If the car is ROLLING, no problem shifting at all. For example if I’m approaching a red stoplight, downshifting to 1st while the car is rolling is no problem.
2. If I’m approaching a stoplight perhaps in 3rd or 4th and shift to neutral or even just push in the clutch, once the car has completely STOPPED, getting it into 1st (or even 2nd or reverse for that matter) is met with considerable resistance and a real ugly fight to get it in gear.

I’m guessing it’s clutch more than worn out synchros. I’ve adjusted the clutch rod just about to the maximum with little to no improvement. What do you guys think?
