If you pumped the brakes all the way to the floor there’s a chance you damaged 
the cups on the piston in the master cylinder. Never, ever press a brake pedal 
all the way to the floor when bleeding.

Does it just go straight to the floor or does it bleed down somewhat slowly 
with your foot on the pedal?

Adjust those rear drums out before you do anything else. That won’t cure your 
lousy pedal, but it eliminates a lot of slop in the system.
