Nova master cylinder push rod question

My brake pedal on my nova has always had a lot of travel in it before you actually got any pedal, no matter how many times I bled the brakes or even put new mast. cylnder it always felt the same..

While working on it last night i have the seat out of it so I can get under the dash pretty good I noticed you can adjust the brake pedal to master cylinder rod.. So I took it apart and ended up moving it about 1 1/2" and now you almost instantly have a pedal... I ran the jam nut up behind it is it that I adjusted this?? Now the clevis is about in the middle of the treaded part of the rod...To me it seems like a no brainer and I wish I had done this a long time ago.. I just want to make sure I am not screwing up anything.. lol
