Dave
	First thing to check, and the easiest, is your brake pedal linkage. Make
sure everything connected to the pedal is lubricated and moving freely. 
	
	Are all of the brake hoses in good shape? A bad hose can cause a slow
pedal release
	
	My next guess after that would be that the master cylinder push rod is
just a hair too long. Turn it in about 1/16" and see if that helps.
