Default Did 1" MC and BB swap but pedal feels mushy

Well I put an Integra 1" Master Cylinder and Brake Booster along with a 40/40 Prop valve on my car but still have the stock drums on it (just trying to put things back together to drive the car to a shop with a lift to do the ebrake cables and trailing arms). I bled all four sides but when I test drove the car the pedal goes 3/4 the way down before it grabs then theres pressure if you pump them. I dont have much brake experience so Im just looking for some input from someone who recognizes the issue.

Thanks

btw. 96 civic ex is the car

might still have air in the system. I could understand if it took 1/4 or 1/2 way before the brake bite but 3/4 way is too much. BTW how did you bleed the brake and which side did you start with? It's weird with Hondas, some of the model years are different, even among the integras(94-95, 96-98, 00-01) and civics(92-95, etc...) themselves.

also keep pedal pumping at a minimum. The more you pump the pedal the more those big air bubbles turn into little ones
