i do not have a mechanical egr valve it is digital, if that helps....i dont believe it is near the distributor maybe the pass side in the middle??? would it be coming up from the exhaust manifold with a wire plugged in the top?

that would be your o2 sensor i believe, if what your looking at is on the exaust pipes then thats your 02 sensor. look to see if the EGR is at the front of the dizzy if it isnt then go out and get a haynes manual for 82-92 firebirds and it should tell you where it is in there.

It will be on the intake, as mentioned before, looks like an alien spacecraft...will have at least one vacuum line to it, and will/should have an electrical 2-wire connecter very close by for the solenoid.
