You can use spindles off a 70-72 monte???

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?
