OK, my engine compartment is a mess. No vacuum is hooked up, etc, etc.
I have an aftermarket Holley 4v carb that work allright for right now. It gets the car started and idling after "a fashion" and so I just want to get important things hooked up so I pass inspection (NC).
When I got the car back, the EGR's snout was busted off. I have no idea if this was done during reassembly or if its always been busted off. So I put an EGR valve on that I had with a good snout.
#1 Is a disconnected EGR bad? Seems that for 86+ cars it is...how about carbed cars?
#2 Where should it be hooked to? The best guess from the Ford Service Manual is that it goes to to some tree on the intake manifold? Is there any valve that needs to go between the EGR and manifold?
I'll try and get some pics if necessary....but actually if anyone has any pics of how their EGR is hooked up that would help. There are never any shots of that area back there as it is tough to get that angle and there is so much stuff in the way I can't quite see where the lines go.
