EGR passages under the plenum

Why does a 86 have two passages yet a 91 doesn't?

Yeah maybe hey. Do you need to know for a reason or are just curious?
I have a homemade billet egr block off plate that frees up a bit of clutter from that area... easy to make and looks neat.

Also JProz1167, i noticed in your profile that you are unsure of your Vettes rearend ratio. Is this still the case? If so, you know how to check it by rotating the rear tyres?

Can't run without a EGR here ... I was just curious as to why it has two is all ... And would that affect the EGR working if you converted the system to speed density.

Nah not really interested in the corvette it can rot it's life away as far as I'm concerned LOL ....

Bingo! One port goes from the driver's side for the cold-start injector. The port from the passenger side is the EGR.
