Don't know if this is your problem but I've never been able to get decent brakes with a 7" booster, tried one a few years back. I run the 8" dual diaphragm on almost everything now, lot's better braking... The 1" cylinder should be ok up to at least a 4,000 pound car I would think....
The 7" booster IMO is going to be marginal at best, to help it along might want to try running the rear brakes as close to dragging as you can..... I still prefer to run the rear drums tighter (but not dragging) with a residual valve and a proportioning valve in the rear line.....Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

I will try adjusting the brakes again tomorrow. But, I think they are just about as close as possible to being right. Is there a way to check the check valve in the booster? THANKS!!
