EGR spacer needed - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

CRRoy71 · 11-02-2003, 12:22 AM

Anyone have one, or know where I can get one? I am running the tall valve covers, and my EGR hits. I also need the choke block off plate for an Edelbrock Performer.

Chris, i'm not saying they don't make it but I have not seen a spacer. I made up a few block off plates out of 1/4" alum. and may have an extra one here. If you use a new gasket as a template you could easily make a spacer from 1/2" thick alum. if thats enough. Alum cuts pretty easy. if you get in a jam and are not in a hurry. i may be able to make one up at work but i never know when I'm going to get the time. lasr week i had plenty of time! .also alum can get pretty scarce there because of the G-jobs:-) .
The choke thingy you need is Edelbrock # 8901.

I had to have one for my edlebrock intake. I believe I bought it from Summitt. I don't have the tall valve covers though.

Dave, thanks for the offer, but I have ordered the block off plate through summit. The EGR spacer, I found out through Swervins site that I can get that from the dealer. So I should be fixed up.

Thanks for the replies.

can ya give me some more info on this thing i have a 305 sitting in the garage that may have it on it and if i do we can come to some kind of deal

CRRoy71 · 11-04-2003, 03:31 AM

It will be a spacer that goes between the EGR valve, and the intake manifold. It just picks the EGR up a little to clear tall valve covers.

**old Rusty C10** · 11-04-2003, 05:51 PM

ok i checked and even removed my egr valve no spacer sorry

CRRoy71 · 11-08-2003, 03:11 AM

No problem, thanks for looking.

How does that EGR hook up anyways? I wanna stick mine back in, but dunno how :P

CRRoy71 · 11-08-2003, 10:56 AM

I will have to look again at the vacuum hoses. I know it just bolts into the manifold, and according to the guy at the Chevy dealer, You need a good gasket like head gasket material. I was going to make a gasket out of regular gasket paper, but he said it wouldn't work. Not sure if he was just making a sale or not, but it worked

The problem with using regular gasket material on that area, is being that high temp exhaust gasses run through that area, regular gasket material will eventually burn.

I just read about the spacer you needed. I had to put one on my sons 82 with the 305. I needed it though because of the carburator choke mechanism stuck out to far. The carb is a quadrajet and all the speed shops said I needed the spacer, espically since I wanted to pass emissions. I bought my spacer at "Lopers Speed Shop" here in Phoenix, pretty $$$ - $50 for a piece of alu.
Its about 3/4" wide and does the job, is this what yor looking for and not the 1/4" stock spacer? If so find a local speed shop, they should have what you need.
