Oriley auto says they carry a universal valve not sure exactly where you are but try to punch in different auto parts and search online.

You won't find any rebuilt or new OE-style proportioning valve at any of the parts houses. I was trying to find one for my '78 2-wheel drive and called 5 Ford dealerships before I found someone willing to search a paper catalog instead of just looking at a computer screen. A new one from Ford costs anywhere between $200-$220. I don't have the Ford part number here at work but I'll post it tonight for you when I get home.
I ended up buying a replacement brass unit from an Evil-bay store and will PM you tonight with details since I know this forum frowns on mentioning "non-authorized" vendors. (I don't know why--I guess those vendors probably don’t contribute $$ to FTE.)
The long and short of it--you won't find one quickly or cheaply. For a part that's so apt to go bad, I find it amazing that's the case.
I'll PM you tonight with info.
