I don't think it sounds as if the pedal should be adjusted. Sounds more like there may not be enough fluid in there? Might need new pads?

There is also some adjustment that can be made in the booster-to-cylinder rod. I have not personally done it, but its in the book.

alos chech to make sure your rear drums are properly adjusted, the best way to do this is by using the e-brake ....how many clicks of the e-brake handle till the rear drums start draging? should be between 7-10 clicks till full engagment.
if the rear drums are out of adjustment there will be excesive play in the brake pedal.

I totally forgot about this having rear discs... Rear drum adjustment will help alot!
