Default Brake question distribution block and brake light

Hi,

In the system on my 69 gto which has factory front disc brakes and rear drums. Hold off valve for fronts (located below master cylinder) and distribution block down on frame rail.

Q: is there a seal in the distribution block that can tear?
Q: Also, in 69 isn't the brake light suppose to be on when key is on IGN but not cranking? - then when you start it ( presumably with no low brake pressure it turns off? )

I know my bulb works for brake light as I ground the wire to distribution block and it goes on. As well as when i turn e-brake on turns brake light on.

Thanks.

The distribution block also has the safety switch. There are seals on the safety switch.
