Master cylinder question

Picked up a 85 sports coupe in bad shape. Noticed that the rear reservoir was empty. Completely changed all brakes and flex line's. Had leaking in the line going to the back brakes in more than one place, so I replaced that line from master back. Bled the system and moved the car. Brakes not up and light is on. Do I have to bench bleed the master. Also the drum brakes in the rear I didn't adjust up. Do I need to do a little on them or they self adjust

light on would make me guess the master has air in it. I'd bench bleed it on the car. And yes, adjust the rears up.
