What are the consequences of having the booster plunger adjusted in too far? Maybe 1/6 of an inch in ?

Re: booster adjustment
The pedal must travel farther before engagement.

Re: booster adjustment
If the piston rod tip is extended past the specification, that would push the rear piston in the master cylinder inward farther than needed, potentially causing the brakes to lock up. You can try it, but you brakes might be glowing red after your first drive.

Re: booster adjustment
Thanks Odoyle,
I was driving at the piston rod receding into the booster a hair too far. About 1/16" short of the master cylinder.
Thanks again,
