My drivers door lock is not quite right along with the exterior door open button. The key had gotten to the point of not turning in the lock at all. I think the tumblers may be warn, but with a bit of jiggling the key and WD40ing the linkage, it's moving better now. I don't see a whole lot of adjustment in the rods. I was wondering if anyone had any pointers in adjusting the whole door lock system.
The exterior door button doesn't have any feedback when you press it. Looking inside the door, I see it just push a rod out to flip a lever that moves the actuating link. It feels like something isn't setup correct but I'm not quite sure what.
I've got a '62 shop manual and am looking at the exploded diagram and reading the steps to replace linkage and locks but it doesn't detail any adjustments for "if this, then adjust that".

Chief, if you end up needing any lock parts contact Greg Donahue: www.gregdonahue.com. He's in Florida and specializes in 63-64 Fords. I've never found anything in his catalog that he doesn't keep in stock.
