This is what I used remember it takes some work & re plumbing ok? I found to be the best fix over the aftermarket POS which will wreck ur car or get u or others injured or killed. No guarantee on this either but better than the brass POS it will inevitably fail I firmly believe but research ask around ok?

Wilwood Brake Proportioning Valves 260-13190

I do have one of these valves on my 4x4.its mounted in the rear after the stock distribution block.
if I eliminate the stock distribution block will I have brakes if I blow a front or rear line?
doesnt the dist block shift the piston and turn the brake light on if one circuit fails?

All that's gone on mine it's just the Wilwood & it works great so far my advice stay away from the aftermarket brass one. I don't trust it! If u replace the Wilwood in line all should work mine does function correctly the brake light equal brake application the distribution of fluid should do front first then to rear quickly. The rear should never lock which means the greater percentage of fluid is being sent to the rear b4 the front ur OEM is malfunctioning in another words out of adjustment the Wilwood will adjust to ur specs it's the rear plumbing that's a pain. Good luck with ur task there is help with Summit or Wilwood I just like the screw type PP valve more dependable so far

update on this.
things have been getting way worse.if it rains or is even damp during the night the rears bang and lock up for about the first 5 stops.its a very bad feeling.i decided to replace everything else I could in the rear.i don't think it could be the dist block because it really does it bad with the moisture and I don't think that the dist block would be effected by this.
the pads looked good and I pulled the wheel cyl off the driver side.one side of the wheel cyl moved fine but the other side was rusted shut and would not move at all.
this wound up being the problem!
the other side was fine but I replaced it too.
now finally everything seems normal.
