What is this part????!!!!?

(1/2) > >>

JoeR:
So, I have a 1984 GMC High Classic that I am slowly working on.  Had the weak 305 taken out and a 350 put in.  Now I am replacing the carb with an Edlebrock 1406.  When I went to install, this part is keeping it from fitting.  It wasn't hooked up to anything so I don't think it is too important.  I am not sure though if I remove this completely what damage will it do?  If I can remove it, does anyone sell a plate to put in its place?  I admit, this is my first vehicle that I've worked on.  Not a trained mechanic by no means but this is something to keep me busy...  Any help anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Joe

Captain Swampy:
That's the EGR valve. You could block it off. Are you in an area that does emission testing?

JoeR:
Thanks Captain!  yea, I'm in Portland Oregon.  It passed last year without this hooked up, so I'm not sure if blocking it off will hurt or not.

Rapid Roy:
Welcome

Captain Swampy:
Blocking it off shouldn't change anything if it's unhooked already.
