Did you remove the residual check valve? It keeps pressure on the rear drums at all times but you don't need it because it will apply the rear brakes slightly even when you don't press the pedal.

what conversion did you do?? disc or drum?? im assuming that you went disc b/cause with the drum setup you wouldnt have needed to bleed the brakes. also, if you did go disc then youre going to have to do the 2port master cylinder swap/conversion in order to get a firm pedal. i have seen some people get away with just adding steel braided brake hoses but in order to get it right you want to do the 2port conversion. hope this helps.
