Default 66 brakes, upgraded

I have the 13 in cobra breaks in m y 66 front and rear. I am running a 04 cobra manual master cyl.
the pedal is hard as hell. when I installed the system I used the factory distribution block for the front breaks and just capped off the rear port. the rears are connected directly to the MS with a prop. valve.
My main question is, should I be using that distribution block or not. I am thinking it may be limiting the fluid to the front breaks.

do not run the distribution block . . it has a frint brake delay valve in it.

if you see no change and your pedal engahement range is narrow like maybe 2" at the most, you can install a master with a smaller piston.

Was there even an 04 manual m/c for the Cobra? I thought they were all power.

yes it is definitely the manual master for the 04. I think I found the part number from mustang Steve or one of the other websites though this forum.

so should I remove the distribution block and replace it with a tee
