I'm not sure if I saw a difference between manual and power brakes when I
bought mine.  All I bought was the bracket, and it did come with a push rod,
but no pedal extension.

Your suggestion of disconnecting the master and check to see the pedal still
sticks, and I think I'll try that as soon as I can get out there.

     I am not sure if CPP manual and power kits are identical   .  I
installed a manual kit in a 58 w/no problem.   The kit with the power
booster I put in a 55 and I had the sticky pedal problem.   The pedal
extension  is a metal piece with a large hole @ the top  ( for the pedal
pin )  and 2 smaller holes @ the bottom   . One hole  is for  the master
push rod and the other hole bolts to the pedal. It connects the pedal to the
m/c push rod.  If your kit does not use this extension and the m/cylinder
push rod connects directly to the pedal, I would still disconnnect the M/C
push rod and check the pedal action. Make sure the pedal moves freely and is
not binding in the CPP bracket. I hope this is of some assistance
