I just had to bleed the front brakes on my 72 and now the blinking red light on my dash will not go out.
should I also bleed the rears?
I checked the switch for the e-brake and all seems well there.

any ideas?

I think you should bleed the whole system if you go to the effort to bleed the front; not that much more work and the job gets done more completely, certaintly not much more cost. You probably know to start farthest away from the master cylinder (Right Rear, RR) then LR, Right Front, LF. As far as the brake light blinking, look for a reset button on master cylinder (as mentioned above) and look to see that the emergency brake handle aligns and pushes on the switch for the brake light.
