The brake pedal is raising up, but doing so slowly.  What could be 
causing the delay in its rise?  I've got a new (well...remanufactured) 
Corvette Master Cylinder, and it's attached to a proportioning valve of 
some kind.  (I don't know what vehicle that valve is from, to be 
perfectly honest.)  Could it be that valve is causing the slow rise in 
the pedal?  Any ideas?
