I'm not sure I'm understanding you guys;  Should the adjustable 
proportioning valve - aka Wildwood or whatever the brand is - be IN ADDITION 
to the stock AMC proportioning valve?  You just junction the line to the 
rear brakes AFTER it goes through the stock one?  Or, should I try and 
remove the stock one alltogether?

The brake warning light is coming off of the stock PPV?
