Default Quick Help needed-Drum brake question

The car is on the mechanics lift and the meter is running!! I have a 67 firebird with stock 4 wheel drums. I have been having trouble getting a master cylinder and booster.
I ordered a booster and MC from JEGS. Supposed to be the right one for the 67. The mechanic is telling me the rod that goes into the MC is too long. Make a long story short, I ordered the complete booster/MC/prop valve setup from Matts Classic Bowties. It was listed as the right part for the Pontiac. The setup came and it has a metering block that the original setup didn't have. I think it is for disc fronts??? I have 4 wheel drums. Please let me know what you think! Can I use the setup with the distribution valve and not use the metering valve??? Are the MC and booster the same. Thanks
