Air in the system is about the only thing I could figure. I did bench bleed the new master cylinder before I installed it. I had the rears adjusted pretty tight, just a couple clicks back on the adjuster before the drum was able to slide on. But I will double check that tomorrow. I will also try bleeding the system some more and see if it changes at all. I do have minimal brakes but the only time the pedal really gets solid is when it hits the floor, lol. And yes you are correct, thankfully no ABS to deal with.

I recently Purchased a 96 legacy postal, automatic. I replaced the pads and rotors and drums/shoes on the rear. Had spongy brakes still so I put a new master cylinder on and bled everything thoroughly. Any advice on where to look next? The brakes won’t even lock up on gravel. They won’t hold the car still while giving slight throttle. Brakes are tight as long as the car is not running then once you start it up, they will pretty much go to the floor. The brakes do work but minimally. Thanks in advance.
