CPP front disc brake swap, brakes sticking and smoking a bit

Ok so i finished doing the CPP front disk brake upgrade, bled the lines, fixed all the leaky spots. Went on a drive, and about 10 minutes in, it felt like my rig was slowing down and needed more gas pedal. Funny smell, knew it was the brakes when I pulled over and saw some smoke... i am running a combination valve and dual chamber MC from a 72 c10, mated to a power booster from a 77 c20 (i believe the model is correct, not quite sure,) and the stock pedal rod, with a modified bracket. After I let it sit for about am hour, the pedal went back to normal (it was super tight with no play during the issue.) I'm wondering if i need to get a shorter brake rod or just remove the booster completely? Figured Id come here first to see what you guys think!

Thank you in advance guys!!
