C3 Brake System
I have a 73 Corvette Stingray that I bought from a private seller back in May 2019.. I've been doing some work to it on my own since I picked it up.. I replaced the brake lines from the master cylinder to each caliper, put BIlstien Shocks on it, installed brand new calipers and a few other things..
One recent issue after completing the brakes, i noticed the pedal takes full pressure to stop.. a red light appears on the dash in the speedometer area "Brakes" in red... yet the car comes to a stop no problem and my rear tail lights are not lighting up..
Ideas/suggestions?

Does the brake pedal go almost to the floor?
The light comes on because because the brake proportioning valve is sensing an imbalance between front and rear line pressure. https://willcoxcorvette.com/corvette...ng-valve-70-73
How did you go about bleeding the brake system after all those changes?
I now see you double posted
