EGR block-off plate.(new problems)
Does anyone have a printable (correctly-sized) template for an EGR block off plate (KA-DE)? I knew i've seen one around here, but i can't find it anymore. I bought an E-Bay plate for dd, but my new project car needs one and i'm broke....
, thanks in advance.

i don't but what i did was take the egr valve off and trace it onto a 1/8" thick piece of sheet metal and cut it with a grinder. it took about 15 min to make, but you'll need shorter bolts if you use a 1/8" plate.

i just made a gasket to get a even tighter seal... years before that... what i did was take the pipe off the egr, installed a plug and then i screwed the pipe back in and crimped it. sealed very tightly... but like durdan said it still wasn't clean behind there.

-i bought a plug that i though was the right size from home depot. Didn't fit, so i cut the collared tube that goes into the header about an inch long, JB welded a dime to the flare. Also made a block off plate out of a piece of aluminum, sealed with rtv.
-now, my car runs fine, but after driving for about five minutes, it drops idle from 800 to about 250-300 until it konks out. I think it may be the vacuum lines? I took out the egr tube, EGR valve and a little ufo -shaped thing that was attached to the EGR valve by a tube.. Was i supposed to remove this, and am i supposed to plug the vacuum lines or not.

YUP!. any vacuum line that is not being used by FPR, Bov etc needs to be plugged/capped/whatever offed

^^^alright, i think i might do the nickel swap if i can save up enough money.
-Anyway, i found out why my car would stall out. Apparently when i was turning wrenches on the EGR, i smacked/cracked the black tube that runs with the hard lines and goes from the bottom manifold to the brake booster(?). I couldn't figure it out because i would start my car and run around and couldn't see what it was before it stalled.

are you guys talking about that brown pipe that goes fron the intake mani to the exhaust mani, i am having problems with my new header and that pipe lining up, can I just take it off and block it with the nickel without hurting anything?
