Brake pedal problem
I brouse the site everyday, but this is my first post. I am having a problem with the brake pedal on my 55 returning very slowly back to the top. Sometimes you have to reach with your hand to pull it up the last inch or two. I have a 78 Mustang booster mounted under the floorboard, with a 79 F-250 truck master cylinder, along with a stock 78 T-Bird proportioning vavle, Volarie disc on front, and drums on the rear, and I am using the stock 55 brake pedal and arm. Nothing seems to be in a bind.
I have bench bleed the M/C, and also each wheel, does my problem sound like I still have air in the lines, or a bad M/C, or a problem with the proportioning valve, or something else? Has anyone experienced this problem with your truck?

Hey Fellas, I am doing the 7 inch booster under the floor and sticking with the stock pedal on my 53.I was wondering what to use for my connection between the two.Do you guys know where they sell something good and strong for this.I was thinking like an adjustable turn buckle or something????/

Thanks Chaarlie, I was getting lazy there. After my post I went out the the garage and pulled out my 1953-5 Shop Manual and although the picture is not very big ort informative, it did shoe the return spring!
Unfortunately, it does show where it's fastened on the chassis.
Can anyone enlighten me?
