So I have installed a hydroboost set up on my 79 Bronco. But the pedal doesnt want to come all the way back up fully so I have to use my foot to pull the pedal up. The brakes still work. I think the issue is the leaking at the proportioning valve sensor is allowing some air in the brake system.
I tried the aftermarket little brass ones, but they kept leaking. What have yall done to solve this problem?

Did you assemble your Hydroboost set up from parts or did you buy a complete kit and just installed it?
Just curious. I’m just trying to learn any quirks the systems might have during install etc...
I ordered a complete kit from Wild Horses. From what it looks like it’s plug and play. I’m trying to avoid looking for used parts and cobbling it together to avoid any headaches. I don’t have a ton of extra time to source parts from the pick and pulls etc...that’s why I went the complete kit route.

How you handled the return lines (2) may be a factor. The PS pump is another. Most will use a Saginaw "canned ham" unit b/c it has to have extra capacity to handle both PS and PB instead of just PS. Of course, the condition of the parts used is a factor as well.
So, share more details to help folks help you.

Does it have two return lines? If not, how are you handling the PS and PB return lines, a T fitting? A T fitting can create a back-flow condition. Here is the plumbing diagram that Hydratech offers:
Note that they prefer dual lines but, failing that, one can use a T as shown to minimize back pressure / back flow. Note also the use of AN -6 sized lines. There are also high volume Ts that can be used to lessen flow issues.
