I agree with Ed, you should have no problem stopping with what you have. Not seeing the set up, it's hard to tell what you have going on. Pedal ratio might be easy enough to change, but then we can see what you have now. Power and manual brakes have different ratio's, so maybe you some how got the wrong one.
Try adjusting the rear drums up tight, then see if the pedal is tight or about the same, if its tight, your self adjusters are not working or you need some residual valves in line to hold a couple pounds of pressure on the rear brakes. If the pedal is still soft, you have other problems.
