I have the spindles, rotrs, calipers, brakes, new bearings , ect. on the car now i need to run some new brake lines.

Question is i bought a new drum/drum master cylinder for my 68 V8 Coupe and now that i decided to swap to manual disc brakes on the front will the drum/drum master cylinder work? If not which master cylinder do i need/shoud use? Also the distribution block do i need to change that? Thanks for your help!

NO, it won't work. You need a disc/drum master. I used a 74 maverick non-power master cyl. I think it has one of the smaller bores (15/16" or so). Maybe one for a 68 mustang with manual brakes would work too . You can get an adjustable propotioning valve. I am not sure what setup a 68 has stock as far as distribution/prop. valve.
