I had the same problem with the lights staying on. New switch doid not help.I cobbed in a spring that hooks to the dash. I think the root problem is wear on the pedal boss. Maybe some lube would help.
I am thinking about a pressure switch at the master cylinder. Anybody have any advice on theat?

Where do these nuts go? As original - NOWHERE!
The switch threads into the retainer. If the retainer breaks (common) and people don't know where to get a replacement, they use nuts instead.
In Steve's pic (post #2), you can see the nuts, but they were not there originally (see parts catalog pic in post #8).

3/8"-24 inverted flare port.

However, this MC has a 1-1/16" bore diameter so, it would be best to have a dual diaphragm booster if using this MC.
There's also the option of using a Tee to connect a pressure switch into, as I did here on my friend's '65 F100, when discs were added to the front and I removed the single pot MC and installed and plumbed in a tandem MC.

With double Nutting the switch, sometimes you do what ya gotta do.

C7TB3E544A....Not serviced separate...improvise. Comes with C7TZ3E532A Cover Kit.
Which coincides with Bill's pic in post #8. Notice there is no number pointing at the rubber piece by itself.
C7TZ3E532A is shown at the company below only. Good Luck. They can have real high prices. I'd go to H*me Depot or Ace and find some universal edging.

For a more graceful installation, this would be one solution --'95 Ford Explorer MC with cruise control (NAPA p/n M3247). In this application, there was a pressure switch screwed into the 'rhino horn' at the forward end of the MC. It was to sense pressure when you stepped on the brakes to cancel the cruise control.
3/8"-24 inverted flare port.

When I run these part numbers on locators I use 3 different ones. The Ford locator, https://www.partsvoice.com/partsearch , and Oops | RearCounter.com | Auto Parts Marketplace . They pop up there. 3M door edge guard.
Just ordered some !
