Re: How much drag for drum brakes?
Drum brakes shouldn't have any drag. That's one of the reasons they still use them on so many cars. If they are adjusted too loose they will have excessive pedal travel. If the pedal goes to the floor and feels solid, its probably out of adjustment. If it's spongy and goes to the floor, it's probably in the hydraulics. As weq92f mentioned above, pump your brakes and see if they feel better to see if it's in the master cylinder.
Depending on how old everything is, it's probably a good idea to just do front and rear shoes, springs, wheel cylinders and machine the drums. (and possibly a master cylinder)
