check the adjustment on the switch but the fact that you can pull up the pedal says you might need a return spring or some master cylnder work

Yeah the pedal really doesn't have a "recoil to it". i mean i will come up on its own after a few seconds, but the brake lights will stay on unless i physically pull the pedal all the way back with my foot.

If i checked the adjustment on the switch, what would i do or look for, im sorry im new to these old school parts

Thanks

At the top of the brake pedal, you'll see the 2 wire brake switch. the depth of the switch to the pedal is adjustable.
