1800 intake manifold question????

Post by spokanefiat »

just wondering what the little vaccucm valve (i guess thats what it is) does that is between my carbarator and engine block.it comes straight up and has two little hoses on it that run two the carbarator..i would like to remove it and cap it to help clean up my engine if that is possible..anyways any help on this little valve gizmo and the hoses that go to it would be great thanks..the valve gizmo appears to go straight into the intake manifold..thanks again

that is the thermovalve for the egr. If you disconnect it there is no reason to cap it

Where do you get an 18mm drain plug? The largest I have been able to find is 16mm. I have been searching for a plug for the exhaust manifold so I can remove the EGR system from my 77' spider,
