Walt,

I ended up being fortunate.

Yesterday I took the car for a test drive - after 10 minutes - the brakes started to drag. I pulled the brake pedal "back" (no adjustments were made) and this relieved the residual pressure on the brakes (front and rear) I was able to then coast the car with just a nudge.

Again, no adjustment made to the linkage - took the car for a ride tonight with the same results. 10 minutes, brakes drag, pulled the pedal rearward and the pressure was relieved.

I adjusted the linkage (moved the brake pedal in line with the clutch pedal) and also disconnected the fasteners holding the MC in place - and pulled the MC as far forward as I could as well (the movement is small, with the magnitude being the play between fastener stud and thru hole)

Drove it for an hour tonight - no drag or buildup of residual pressure. I believe in my case, the master was not allowed to retract fully.
