I just got done putting a disc brake set up from a 73 dart on my 71 used to be drum brake car. Is there any difference in the m/c, or do I need to replace that to? I know that i will need an adjustable proportioning valve...

Replace it.
The disc brake master has two different size reservoirs, large for the disc you installed up front, smaller for the drums.

Exactly, the drum brake one also has a check valve to keep a little pressure in the wheel cylinders at all times, as where the disc m/c has no valve. It will be like keeping your foot on the pedal.
I also believe you need to change your proportioning valve.
