1957 Thunderbird 3 Speed Manual Clutch Adjustment

How much pedal free play should I have in my 1957 Thunderbird with the three speed manual transmission? Currently, I have zero free play at the pedal and I know that must be incorrect.
 
I have always used 3/4” to 1” for clutch free play in a car with mechanical linkage.
 
Idea is to keep throw out bearing off fingers on clutch cover. If touching bearing will spin, wearing it out. All info in factory shop manual.
