700c wheel conversion on 27" wheel bike

A Schwinn I have originally came with 27" wheels and I only have 700c to put on it. I bought 2 'dropdown' bolts for the campy side pull brakes I have and find that the brakes are still not low enough. I seem to need another 1/8-3/16" reach??? I thought that drop down bolts were the fix for this problem??? That is why they made them in the first place.

You have any knowledge on this issue?

Oh, if you are going to tell me to measure my Campy brakes, I will need to know from where to where.
What knid are they? Campy side pulls from the 60s I guess.
