Default 1997 brake assembly questions

This string of questions came about because the little piece of plastic on my brake proportioning valve blew out and I lost my brakes while driving.
Here's my long list of questing and any info would be greatly appreciated:

We're there different brake set ups in the engine bay (different types of boosters or master cylinders used depending on version)?

Since I can't seem to find a replacement proportioning valve, is there an alternative to the stock one?

Is there an upgrade that people do that would modernize the whole brake assembly?

Or any other info that might help me get my brakes working once again?

There are 5, according to MoparPartsGiant.com but they only have '94-96 & '97-98, the others are unobtainable. If you're lucky & yours is one of those years, they're not cheap. RA may be a better bet, they specialise in ends of lines & suchlike. A yard still seems the best bet because, chances are, you don't need the whole thing.
