Adjustment is not likely to help, IMO.  The hydraulics will just take up the
slack before you get any braking.

First thing to check is wheel alignment, tire pressure, bearings, etc.
particularly the mounts where the trailing arms attach to the frame.   If
there isn't something causing reduced traction at that wheel, then usually
the problem is that the other wheels aren't doing their share.  If there was
some magic trick to make the drum brakes work better, the car makers would
have already done it.

Had a TR3A for awhile that would pull dramatically to the left on moderate
braking and lock the LF wheel.  Problem turned out to be that the lower rear
mount for the LF suspension had pulled away from the frame.  And the
alignment shop hadn't caught it.
