Title: EGR valve question
Post by: gto109 on March 26, 2013, 09:55:36 pm

My 86 Trans Am has a 305 in it.  When we bought the car a few years ago it needed a lot of work.  The motor runs good in it and for the most part are its ready for the road.  It has an Edelbrock carb on it and the EGR valve is broke on it and it still has the stock intake on it.  Is there a way I can get an EGR valve to work on this setup?  Would I be better off getting the Edelbrock EGR intake for the car?

     If I read that post right, you are saying the egr is on the carb ?  If it is in the valve cover just buy the stock one, or the one you think is better.

The way I understood it it's on the intake and was broken so the carb wold fit on top of the stock intake

I found the solution for my problem.  I asked the same question on the Edelbrock web forem.  they gave me the answer there is an adapter that Edelbrock makes that moves the EGR out.
