Rear brakes

1979 camaro with 305 and 81000 miles. Replaced rear drums and bled the entire brake system but the brake light stays on. The left rear brakes are weak when pressure is applied and the right rear is extremely tight and will no longer move. When replacing the shoes I replaced the the brake hardware kit and both drums were replaced with new ones. Any help would be appreciated with this because I'm officially stumped. Thank you.

Bleed the M/C and go on each wheel-light still there-check the combination valve/switch-proportioning/metering Valve. Your brake is not equalized for the lite.

Also, make sure that the brake shoes were adjusted evenly.
