EGR Block Off Plate

I found this from "Route 66 Mods". They make EGR and Mechanical fuel pump block off plates for a lot of older motors.

I bought an EGR plate to get rid of some more useless "Stuff" under the hood Here's a few Pics of before and after. The below link is their homepage.

Pic 1 is what came with, Plate, a quality gasket, The plated cap screws were metric so I took a trip to lowes and got a couple grade 8 5/16-18 x 1/2"

Pic 2 is what I had under hood.

Pic 3 is what I ended up with after I lost the EGR, CTS, and a few more hoses.

L.M. If you see this I would like to know how you have your accelerator cable return springs routed. I have to come up with something a little more permanent as I used the old egr bolt to hold my return spring bracket, But Hey, That's another fix for another day.
