Where can I locate a proportioning valve? The van is a B200 with a 360.  
This part distributes the brake fluid from the master cylinder to the brake lines. It has 2 lines coming into it and 3 lines going out of it.

Finding one will be tough. You might have to tee the 2 front lines to the master cylinder and then install an adjustable brake proportioning valve from Wilwood or others. Adjust it until the front brakes lock first.
