Why not a Lightning EGR? very hard to get/find and worth lt's weight in gold. I'm told?
So it's either mod a 65MM Mustang EGR or just delete the ERG? I've got no problem deleting the EGR as long as I can still get past an emmissions inspection. The thermactor is already gone!!
I'm I missing something? or does this sound right?

I did look thanks!!
So, does that mean I can slide an H.O. spacer between the Explorer TB and
the Explorer Upper intake, with a modded throttle bracket and this will work?
Without having it bored out?
If so, great!! But if I don't know what the hell I'm talking about!
please stop me before it's too late!!!!!!!!!!!!
Isn't the H.O. spacer 55MM?, and does that make enough of a difference to
really matter? I need to get this thing running

Yes, of course I'm using a gasket under the upper intake, but it's got the hole!
What I've been told is that this small hole in the middle of the lower intake is a
hole for EGR gasses, and should be blocked off. Since the CV already has it's
EGR bolted to the EGR spacer.
Is this correct? Is this hole in the lower intake for EGR gasses?
And should I block it off?
Since I've got to replace the EGR spacer, I can do this too at the sametime
if I have to.
This is upper/lower and TB from a 96 Explorer I'm working with.
