When you installed the new shoes, did you adjust it to where the drum has a slight drag to it? I believe it should also have self adjusters on it and you should hear a clicking sound when you push down on the pedal until they are adjusted correctly. I had the same problem with my 88 but was able to adjust the slack out at the rod you mentioned. You also may need to replace your cables if they are stretched too far for adjustment.
