Hi Steve, Did you use the existing pedel or a donor? I still run the orginal in mine. How far up the rod did you drill the hole?
The rod in question does effect the pressure applied to the brakes, but has nothing to do with the pedel adjustment. Two different adjustments.
With a little more feedback I hope we can work this out today for you.

Steve, You didn't specify a year so it will be ok to stay here.
If I read correctly you drilled two holes, I think you may have gone two far by doing two. You should be able to see where the hole needs to be, and drill another one up or down from where you did to correct the issue.
