RE: EGR

["Eppinger.Michael" <Eppinger.Michael@domain.elided>]

Hey Curt,

Does your T'all have the spreadbore or square bore manifold?  I have 2
'75 T'all's (one of each manifold) and the spread bore had a metal plate
(that looks factory) that covered the opening in the manifold.  No EGR
valve, no air pump (no brackets to suggest it was removed) and this was
a CA truck origionally.  The square bore, I did not see a place for a
EGR valve to even mount.  I may have to look again but I don't think so.
Howard or anybody else have some input?  If it didn't have one should
it? (square bore specifically for my question).

TIA,

Epp
