Are the shoes just starting to drag on the drums?  Must be able to start and
stop the dragging by adjusting the cams of course.  I always go for just the
slightest dragging when adjusting.  Those aren't the easiest things to set
up without the original factory tools.  they are easy then at least.

If adjusted well  you must still have air in the lines somewhere.  Is the
master cylinder drained?  If power brakes there is a bleed hole in the MC
also.
