All the other comments about hoses, etc., are valid. However changing the MC makes the piston push rod adjustment the most likely problem.
I have six (6) pages of the manual covering brakes in the Technical Support section of the Kempner POWER WAGON Museum web site. Click on the Museumn link below. Scroll down and click on the Technical Support button. Scroll down and click on Brakes. Links to the six pages start there. You can either read the manual pages there or you can print them out and take them to your shop.
The adjustment of the brake rod is presented in great detail. The manual is specific about not adjusting the factory setting, but that's the first thing that folks mess with. Of course, the new MC makes that necessary in your case.
Good luck. I hope this helps.
