proportioning valve help

In my stash of parts I found a brand new brass prop/differential pressure valve that I'd consider using in my 1978 F150 to 1965 F100 disc brake conversion. It fits the 78 prop valve bracket perfectly.. I think it's an early 80's valve but not sure from what year or model truck. Hopefully ND or others might track down the number E4TA-2B524 K2A which is stamped on the part although it was in a box marked E4TZ 2B257-C. It has an electrical connection which I guess is for the pressure failure light but it does not have a bleeder valve. Thanks for your help. Lefty

Not an authority, my understanding is the 73-79 prop valve will work as long as it's off a front disc brake set up, a front/rear disc brake prop valve will not work. Perhaps another member will be able to determine by P/N.
