: Brake light stays on??

I recently went from manual f/r drums to the following new parts:
-Baer GT front discs
-New reman power booster
-New 1 1/8 bore M/C
-New hard lines f/r
-New dist. block on frame
-Bear adj. Prop Valve
My brakes are bled and are absolutely awesome(will add rear discs soon!!) but the brake light on the instrument panel stays on when the sending unit on the distribution block is connected. Anyone else ran into this? I'm wondering if this is a false signal or if the unit inside the block may be out of sinc.

Might try to pump the brake a few times to center the valve.
When bleeding the brakes, the valve will want to travel to 'off center' , thus grounding the lamp.

A few rapid-semi-hard pumps (that don't sound good at all) should put everything back on center>>>>>>>>.(isn't that what she said??)

I had the same issues when putting 4-wheel discs on the 59.
