A follow up is due to all the nice folks that had offered me advice. This one had really frustrated me.
Turned out to be a couple of issues that kinda "muddied the waters".
Master cylinder was dirty as was the entire hydraulic system. So, I believe it was a good thing that this issue showed up. I flushed the entire system and replaced the master with a new unit from Napa. I have had very good luck with these. As a plus, the casting and cap are concourse correct for 1940.
Then there's the switches. Four bad in a row. ARGGHH! Are you kidding me?
Three NOS, concourse correct switches and a new one from Napa. The fifth one purchased off of Amazon for $10 worked like a charm.

So, thanks guys for the advice and your patience with me.
