extra touchy power brakes

i just added a new booster and master cylinder assembly to an F100. now, if you touch the brake pedal, it jerks the truck to a screeching halt. the brakes are so sensitive that it is almost impossible to drive. is there any adjustment on those boosters? the booster came from the parts store and was for a 79 F100. it is the kind that uses the bracket with a fulcrum, rather than the earlier type of power brakes that requires the booster's rod to attach to the pedal.

Actually there are a few different boosters.

Did you replace the proportioning valve also?
You need to match the system.

What is the FT number stamped on the push rod of the booster.
