Valve question
WHAT MODEL YEAR is your original car, and I assume it has drum brakes?
The valve pictured IS NOT a proportioning valve. It is quite simply a distribution block with the warning light switch. The switch consists of a simple piston which is normally centered, with the switch OFF. IF one "end" or the other loses pressure, the piston "shuttles" to one side, triggering the switch.

The photos below clearly show that at least some cars use SEPARATE prop. valves I found one drawing that seems to indicate that some cars used a 1 switch, 2 a metering valve, and 3 a prop valve in the same car.
These drawings are out of the 67 and 69 shop manuals:
