This from Group 5 of the green manual:

“Rotate the wheel while applying the brake by turning the adjustment screw clockwise with the help of SVO 2548 (you have fashioned an equivalent). When the wheel (the picture shows the tire/wheel combo in place) can only just be turned with one hand, stop turning the screw. Then ease off 4 “notches” and check that the brake drum can rotate freely.”

Based on this method, I would say you’re likely a tad too tight. Let us know what happens to the brake pedal height if you try this technique. When I used it on Betty recently, I had plenty of pedal.
