Brakes and Parking Brake Adjustment

So I hooked up my new brake system a couple of weeks ago on my 70 Charger. The old system was an all 4 wheel manual drum. It is now a rear drum front disc power brake system.

As the front brakes are pretty much too easy, I hate adjusting drums. I was just wondering how tight to adjust the brakes on the drums, and if there were any tips out there to make things a bit easier? So far everything is installed and the brakes have already been bled. I was also wondering how you know if the pushrod between the booste and master is adjusted correctly?

After the brakes are adjusted I am going to be adjusting the parking brake and was also wondering how much those need to be adjusted? It doesn't really get to thorough in the service manual.

I know these are some pretty simple redundant questions, but I just despise messing with brakes.

Thanks for the help

Not much help but I have exactly the same questions. Recently converted to front discs (70 Charger) and I'm about to bleed the system.
