EGR delete plate

[Sasse]

Hi all,

putting a weber in my winter project Brat.  It’s an 82.

Will the aluminum from an old license plate be stout enough to fabricate an EGR delete cover plate?

It’s all I have around the garage. Hoping not to have to go out just for a small chunk of aluminum or steel.

 Thanks in advance.

Why don't you just leave the EGR? It helps with emissions and fuel economy and really only requires a single vacuum line - can route it through a thermo-vacuum valve (which you likely already have) if you want to be one of the cool kids. It doesn't have any effect at all on WOT performance. It has only benefits and no drawbacks. Deleting it is silly. Also there's no need to block the port off. If you don't want to use it just don't give it vacuum and it becomes it's own delete.

Thanks.  Sounds easier and better.

Some feel a drawback is just that! Drawing dirty exhausting back into the clean, filtered environment of an intake manifold can often display choked up to blocked passages and/or a carbon trail on the intake tract.

That's simply an uneducated statement. EGR has been in use for 50 years and it's benefits are well known. The "appearance" to your untrained eyes notwithstanding, the SCIENCE of EGR is well documented and it will result in better emissions and improved fuel economy.
