Dave:

If you can find no external cause for the pedal and pushrod not returning you 
will need to remove and dismantle the master cyinder. There is a snap ring 
under the rubber boot that retains the piston. It should slide right out but 
may require thumping it on a wood block or using air pressure at the brake 
line connection if it is stuck.  You cannot know what is needed untill the 
cylinder bore is inspected.  If it is pitted I would suggest having it 
sleeved with brass or stainless steel.  There are a number of people who do 
this and can get names for you if you need them.  One is White Post 
Restorations in White Post VA.
Let me know what you find.
Don
