Just finished my granada swap, have some Q's

I just did the front disc swap on my 67. I installed granada MC (manual), correct prop valve, new rotors, calipers, hoses, and lines. I bench bled the master correctly and all the lines over and over, but i still have a sort of soft pedal. Its like it is nothing for an inch and then it gets firm. I have the rears adjusted up till they drag just alittle. Im just wondering if anyone has had this problem or something similar. Thanks for your help!

The granada MC came with a 1.5" longer pushrod, but i didnt use it thinking the MC piston should come back to the stop. If i put a longer rod in, it will keep it from returning all the way. Im kinda confused.
