The power booster has nothing to do with the hydraulic portion of the braking system. All it does is decrease pedal effort when applying the brakes.
You can go one of two ways with your distribution block.
1) OE style combo block (2nd and 3rd links). The block includes a pre-set proportioning valve for the rear.
2) Keep your drum brake distribution block and plumb in an adjustable proportioning valve for the rear brakes.
Either way, you need a proportioning valve for the rear to drop line pressure in order to keep from locking your rear brakes from prematurely locking up. Drums take less pressure to operate than discs, and the rears need even less pressure as they're only responsible for about 25% of your braking power.
