I have a 72 Dart all drum & wondering Can you get air in the lines after putting new brake shoes on all the way around?... I think I should have higher peddle then what I got!
 
No way for air to get into the system just by changing brake shoes. If the pedal is low then the shoes might need adjusted out some.

This ^^^

I just went through this on my Wife's 73 Mercury Comet. I did a complete brake job and after putting it all together had a spongy/low peddle. I adjusted the rears up again, and voila, nice peddle.
 
readjusted wheel bearing,readjusted front brakes, & blade all 4, now it brakes ok!
