What everybody else said. Search for shimming the ToB and you'll find the old threads. Just under 1 inch of preload and you'll be in the ballpark. Don't forget to pick up a little bit longer bolts to account for the shim(s). M8 or M10 I think. I can't remember off the top of my head. For the record I have 2 shims on my setup. Pick up a rubber sink stopper from home depot and punch a small hole in it to assist in vacuum bleeding the system "pulling the air out from the top" at the master cylinder. Here is a youtube video of it I just found.
1 thing everybody forgot to mention. How old is your brake fluid and what color is it? Might want to consider flushing the entire system. Old nasty fluid doesn't give as much pressure as nice new clean fluid. Ever cooked your brakes on a really long and hard stop to the point you can smell it and see your rotors glowing red hot??? I did. Could not get into 1st until the fluid cooled down. Flushed the system the next day. Everything felt much better after that.
