I believe the proportioning valve is for disc only, for drums it's a distribution block. The master is the same, grab the booster, brackets and linkage.

If you're keeping drums, I am pretty sure you can keep the valve/block you have now as it keeps pressure equal at all 4 wheels. Only if you go disc do you need a true prop valve. Keeping drums should also keep you out of brake line hell, where I currently reside. Like gordo said, make sure to get the brackets and rod to the pedal, along with the booster. Also get the fitting from the manifold, it will save you some looking.
