If you had to use an adapter for the MC mount, you need to lengthen the push rod by the amount of the adapter thickness, otherwise you will not get enough travel.. I put a BOSS 429 MC (15/16" bore), Wilwood adjustable proportion valve, on my '40 coupe over 25 years ago, and extended the push rod. Also used a manual vacuum bleeder. Brakes have been perfect since then.
