Really need help!!1983 Z28 brake prop valve.

Hi everyone i have a huge problem. I have a 1983 Z28 camaro with a broken brake proportioning valve that has been in the "shop" for 2 and a half weeks!!!! I posted here before and the only answer i got was to look on the classifieds on this site and i have looked nearly everyday and i have not come across one prop valve! I just found one on ebay, but its used and so i messaged the guy he says he wont return it if its junk so i dont really want to take the risk, but i will if i have to.

Please if anyone knows of where to get a new or good used working prop valve for my 1983 Z28 please put the link up!! you dont know how gratefull i will be.

i'd try the Ebay one-proportioning valve problems are very rare,it's likely good if it hasn't been underwater or something.G-body proportioning valve compatable?brakes similar to thirds and same basic era.

Thank you for the reply I called the shop before i bought the valve a to make sure my camaro was front disc and rear drums and it turns out it is all disc so i cannot buy that prop valve> Im stuck, i cannot find any prop valves that fit my year camaro that support all disc brakes. The owner at the shop says their is no way to buy another prop valve and rig that but i think that is B.S.

If anyone knows a way to get any prop valve and rig it to work with all disc brakes please let me know i am out of options
