Your ABS seems to have stopped working because you don't have ABS. It was not available on an 84 Delta.

The only way to bypass the proportioning valve is to disconnect the lines and reroute them. There is a pushbutton on the valve that temporarily disables the residual pressure valve while you bleed the brakes.
