Can someone offer advice on the best way to adjust manual drum brakes (for my 62 K20)?

I replaced most of the brake system this weekend to include master cylinder, wheel cylinders, front drum, had the rears turned, and new shoes all around.

After getting everything back together, bleeding it out and fiddling with the adjusters, it's much better, but still not quite right. It pulls a bit and I seem to be going around in circles making adjustments.

What's the trick?


I wouldn't recommend drugs, alcohol, and violence to anyone...but they've worked well for me.
