Same whether front or rear. Also, the pedal is slow to return after depressed. Is that a proportioning valve problem?
Rear discs require a master cylinder made for 4 wheel dics. Adding a mc with a larger piston size (1.1/8" bore) can work also. Did your mc come off a 4w disc vehicle or did you use the Corvette one from a drum rear brake? I bet that it is the wrong one.

There are others things it could be. I would check the bore to see if its 1.1/8 on back unless you know it is. If it is then i will be something else
