Brake Problem

I just replaced a non-functioning stop light switch on my '59 BT-7. Went to 
bleed the brakes and the pedal is hard to press down with bleeder open and does 
not spring back up quickly but takes a min or so to return to the "at rest" 
position. I am assuming this is a master cylinder problem and the brake light 
switch change is a coincidence but thought I would see if anyone has any 
thoughts. The switch threaded in to the brake pipe junction all the way...is it 
possible it could be blocking off the flow of fluid and causing this hard to 
press, slow to return condition? Other thoughts?

Thanks, Dave
