Shawn,
I'm not positive what you're calling the "distribution valve", but if it's
the device where the lines from the master cylinder connect and result in 2
front brake output lines and one rear brake output line being
"distributed", then it's more commonly called the "combination valve" (or,
erroneously "proportioning valve"). In that case you may want to have a
look at this to see whether your "problem" is one or not (remember that
cast iron housing is subject to lots of rust after 40+ years:
