Started to hear a clicking/spring noise from around the clutch pedal return spring when pressing down the clutch pedal. Looked for any obvious lube points but can't seem to get it right. Anybody else have this issue?
Thanks!

Had a problem with clutch peddle staying on floor.made a little noise if I remember.what I found is the pin and craddle had wear. Resolve problem by spinning pin around and a light touch of greased on every thing that moved. the craddle I did nothing. If I latter have a problem.more then likely I will replace the pin and see if I can tack washer to the inside or the outside of the craddle. Use a floor jack to install washers to desired length to reinstall. If you look close at the 4 picture you can see craddle stamp on it. Hope this helps.

Thanks for your help. Based on the vibration along the clutch rod it seems the issue is where the clutch rod meets the return spring. I've lubed it with lithium grease. Still hearing some noise but It's a little better.

At first I tried to lube what was accessible. hope it works for you. Ended up taking every thing apart,from the clutch fork and bearing to craddle. cleaned and lubed. keep in mid how old these cars are. something like this might have to be done every 50 years.
