Ok. I did some more reading on Team Chevelle and it looks like the pedal should be lower. I still didn't find out if the proportioning valve from the camaro was the same or not. Anyone?

Did my conversion this last weekend to power disc brakes from manual drums. Got the setup from a 70-72 Monte. I used the replaceables as cores. Got new master cylinder, brake hoses, bearings, seals and rotors. Also rebuilt loaded calipers and power booster. When I tried to get the proportioning valve off the doner, I just had to cut the brake line to the rears and I could never get the line off. So, I wound up going to the only junkyard in town who said they had one and it wound up being from a camaro. Looked the same. Is it? Next, When I had it all installed, I hooked the power booster rod in the bottom hole on the brake pedal and it sits quite a bit closer to the floor. and I had to adjust the brake light switch all the way in so it would contact the pedal. Is this too far down? I havent measured, but I think it has about 2 - 2 1/2" of travel. Also, the master cylinder they sold me has equal sized resevoirs. I thought most I've seen had the larger front resevoir and smaller rear one. When I stop it slows down with normal pressure and then seems to really grab at a certain point. So I have to be real careful as to not put myself through the windshield. Could be just needing more bleeding? any other thoughts an any of the questions?
