The pressure plate is set correctly.
Is Delta 400 extra thick maybe? Are there any other settings
on the camera that would effect this? (I can't think of any)
Delta shouldn't be a problem.
Is it an MLU or pre MLU camera?
Here is a little experiment you can try...
With no film in the camera, open the back a couple of inches and rotate the
thumbwheel in the center of the frame counter until it is showing a frame
number. While holding it, close the back.
The camera will now work as if it has film in it.
If it is still hard to advance, you have a flakey film advance.
Send it for repairs.
If it is normal feeling, you have a problem on the supply side, which you
may be able to fix with a judicious application of appropriate lubricant to
the film spool holders.
The bottom spool holders are somewhat susceptible to corrosion and dirt.
