Need some help with brake issue

Hey guys boy oh boy when it rains it pours lol. So i just got done installing new 11.75” rotors with 2.75” calipers and stainless brake hoses. I went to bleed the front brakes and before i did i suck out almost all of the old fluid from both chambers, left enough in the bottom to keep the ports covered. Filled with new dot 3 brake fluid and used a vacuum bleeder on the front and flushed about a quart of brake fluid through the front calipers. Was going to flush the rear after. But before i even started on the rear i went to go see how the pedal feels and there is some pedal feel but it doesnt get hard until maybe near the floor, i know it should be rock hard after about a inch or so depressing the pedal shouldnt it? I slid the wheels and tires on and had my dad hit the brakes and the fronts are definitely working but the pedal seems way too soft to me. Sitting in the seat i can about force it to the floor and pumping it doesnt seem to help. I then went to the back drums, i had to adjust them up slightly and then bled about a half a quart through the wheel cylinders and i now have clean fresh fluid throughout and no air that i can see coming out of the bleeders. But still the pedal doesnt get rock hard. You can feel some resistance but it doesnt change pumping it. Also not sure if it could be related but with the cap off the master when i push the brake pedal the front chamber (rear brake chamber) geysers, fluid squirts up maybe 2” above the reservoir and the rear chamber (front brake chamber) does not. Any thoughts?


Also on the last round of bleeding the drums the right rear bleeder broke off when i went to tighten it. Tried to get the remaining piece out with vise grips but no dice. So pulled the drums off and there was one droplet of brake fluid on the left rear wheel cylinder and maybe some light residue around the area but no major leak. Also the shoes have a few cracks in them so I guess im putting new wheel cylinders, shoes and hardware on now
