Interesting drum brake problem

I sprayed the hell out of all brakes with cleaner, then cycled them a few times, I think I have them all too tight now, but wow, I actually have decent braking now. Now just need to get some new tires on there so I can stop skidding all over the road. I'll go through all the lines though. I lost brakes on my Valiant and ran off a hill into trees. I learned my lesson.
