I've been going thru this with 3 cars recently with rear drum brakes. with a Toyota and my 62 Oldsmobile, adjusting the rear shoes gave me brakes at last. With a 61 Buick I've been fighting for weeks, we finally discovered last night the rear shoes were contacting drum with only about 1.5-2 inch of the pad with both shoes. I'll be pulling drums off tomorrow to have them turned down. we had replaced/upgraded to modern power m/c, bled each wheel a dozen times, bench bled m/c again, and bled each wheel several times more and still had spongy brakes.
