It is on the bottom front side of the intake manifold held on with 2 bolts. I then removed the other portion of the egr from the exhaust manifold. I cut the metal tube leading up from the exhaust manifold, and removed the large nut that holds the tube in place. I then fitted a metal plug into that nut, and tightened it back into the hole. Someone may make a kit for it, but I just made my own out of some metal laying around the shop. I would expect to see some type of threaded plug and a flat plate with two holes for the complete delete. If you don't have a Weber, strongly consider getting one as one of your first purchases. It will bring the tech level under the hood back to early 70's and give you better power and driveability.
I don't have any pictures of the original egr setup, but if you follow the tube coming off of the exhaust manifold you should be able to follow it all the way to the intake.
I'll try to take some photos of what I currently have.
I have the original mikuni carb, but been thinking about a weber swap after learning how hard the mikunis are to work on. It's definitely on the list.
Thank you for that description, I will take a look at the engine with these notes and see if it all makes sense. Just so I'm clear, are you suggesting that I should do the weber swap before attempting the delete, or can they be done independently?
