Egr temperature control switch

I need some help....I was doing some troubleshooting on my 86 IROCZ'S code 32 and learned that my temperature control switch was bad. I ordered the corvette one and extended the wire. As I was screwing it into the base of the EGR valve, the round threaded cylinder on the base where the switch screws into broke! I was able to get the screw part out of the base of the EGR but my dilemma is where do I find another one? Even if I purchase a new EGR valve that piece doesn't come with it?

I'm not super familiar of the earlier tpi egr's. Can you show picture? Was this one using a bushing to make it work?

Re: Egr temperature control switch

My factory EGR valve and the replacement I recently installed didn't have that adaptor, the temp sensor just threaded right into the EGR base. I just checked RockAuto and they list 2 different EGR valves. One like yours with the smaller threaded hole (but don't show an adapter) and another one with the larger threaded hole like factory. I would just buy the new EGR valve with the larger hole and omit the adapter.

Re: Egr temperature control switch

I was looking at that one....I just wonder if it would work for my 86? Also with the vacuum fitting being on top would it affect the clearance of the plenum???

It will fit with the vacuum fitting on the top.
