Do you have rear disc also, if yes you can gut the valve turning it into a manifold.

Do you have good fluid flow to the front calipers? Did you bleed all the air out? If you got good pressure to the calipers I'm guessing the problem isn't the valve.
Do the calipers slide properly on the slide bolts?
Also 71 to 75 prop valves are still available new if you want one.
