When the handle pulls to full stop and you're barely
locked, can this be adjusted?

Sure; easy to do. First jack up rear of car and brace. Remove rear wheels.
Locate the rear brake adjuster, which is a 1/4" square stud on the backside
of the hub. Turn this in until the brakes drag on the hub when turned, then
back off one click. After you do both sides look for the emergency brake
cable adjuster in front of the axle toward the passenger side. With the
handbrake off tighten the adjuster to take the slack out of the cable. Clean
and grease the pivots while you are down there. That's it! BTW, this info
applies to the early models but I don't think the later ones are different.
