Marty,
If the brake line enters the cylinder at a high point you might have
got the air out with your "creative" bleeding method. But usually
the bleed screw is at the top (for obvious reasons) and the line goes
in somewhere lower down, so you likely still have some air in there.
The long pedal travel is therefore likely attributable to some air
plus the non-adjusted brakes. Sorry, I don't know the 505 drums so I
can't offer any advice on that.
About the easy out saga, just buy a new rear cylinder. You know you
can install it, as you already cracked the inlet fitting open during
bleeding. You can probably get one from FAG-Kugelfischer or similar
(aftermarket) for under $35.
