You could try extending your swing arm. That'll add more travel but may require getting your rear shock revalved. Or you can dial down the spring.
As for your rear brake yes replace the pads obviously, you should also pull the disc and hit it quickly with a flap wheel to deglaze it. Also look at getting a braided steel line, the old rubber hose after 35 years is probably a little soft.

ok thanks thunder iam trying to get it set up for mx raceing this year this prob the worst year to do mx with but going to try

Not sure where your located, as to races run in your area but the 82' can make a solid TT machine. MXing it won't make it shine but it's really rider after the gate drops. Nothing like a good battle mid pack on an assumed underdog. Get your rear shock built custom, its worth every penny in performance over reconditioned stock unit. Re-spring the fronts (revalve if you can) RaceTech is a choice. Brakes are super important any upgrade helps, steel lines really make a difference. The big thing, getting to the track...No one has expectations at the riders meeting. After the race it's all hand shakes pats on the back, and the bump apologies happen from time to time too. Go have fun pick your date and try to make it work.
