Default Ford power drum brakes

Is there anybody out there with a running
torino or other ford with power drum
brakes?
I am running power drums on my 71 torino.
New master cylinder, new brakes and hardware
good strong vacuum from booster.

I have no leaks, professionally power bled
brakes.

Still have a very sensitive pedal. my
mechanic says that is what ford power
drums were like.

The pedal is light to touch, does nothing
until about the last 1-2 inches of pedal
travel. If you slam on the brakes they
lock up. basically the upper portion
of the pedal travel does nothing.

(I know I need disc brakes)

thanks for any help.
