You might want to test the distribution block when you are removing it. During the removal process, take the rear reservoir line and the line to the rear brakes off first. Then go inside the car and press on the brakes, you should see a momentary brake warning light. It should go off as soon as pressure is off the block. If it stays on, the switch is stuck. It might not go on if the warning light doesn't work. That is easy to check. Just ground the wire hooked to the distribution block.

This is why my cars sits in the garage. Little projects that I get tangled up in. I actually have a 63, but in the early 80s I went to Corvette Heaven in San Jose, Ca and took the suspension components including brakes off a 1969 rolling chassis so I don't have a warning light.
Now I'm thinking what if I just take the internals out and just use it as a distribution block. I'd have to leave the two fittings that mate to the brake lines in, but I should be able to take everything in between out.
any thoughts?
