That looks like the valve that I put on years back. I checked mine out some time back and it didn’t need a modification.
I don’t think that you could lock up the fronts before the rears if you had the modification or not.
If I were you I would not do anything to it. If your brakes are working now I would not mess with the valve.

By the way it really isn’t a proportioning valve. It should be properly called a combination valve. It puts a small amount of pressure on the front brakes before it puts the full pressure to both the front and read. It does not proportion any pressure to either the front or rears.
It also has a shuttle inside it which will turn on a light on the dash telling you if there is no pressure on either the front or rear. This is to tell you that you might have a leak in the system or low fluid on the front or rear.
