    How can I identify what EGR I have?

    Thanks guys I found the part I needed by looking at all the EGR's autozone has listed. It's EGR138 , FYI. Bucket was right, it fits a '78 (something, I can't find it now).

    How can I identify what EGR I have?

    So, I'm having a problem. I don't know what kind of truck I should tell people at autozone I have when looking for a part. It's worked for the most part if I just tell them I have a 91 g30. But since I have no way of knowing what kind of truck this engine came out of I just tell them that. I...

    Thanks guys. I did fire it up with the new carb once. It ran ok. It didn't have much connected at that point and still did fine. Thanks for the follow Jim!

    BTW... the truck looks a bit different now...

    Yeah, that's what I'm doing. Focusing on the EGR only and plugging up or re-routing anything else if it's not already hooked up. I've got the distributer hooked up to the carb already. I'll order that part and hook the EGR to it. Thanks!!!

    Ok, so I'm about to buy that TVS switch but need a bit more advice. The part I pulled off is one for a distributor it seems. It's marked with #14031351. The info I see is that they have different TVS' for distributor, EGR, and EFE. It opens at 140-160. Can I replace this with the same part, or...

    Thanks Jim. I'll try and get this sorted out. I do have to pass emissions but they don't check to see if stuff is hooked up. I just need to pass a sniffer.

    Ok, so you are saying the one I painted orange below... hooks up to the red tube or the green nipple? Or, the tube in the 3rd pic below that's on the snout? Good eye! Yeah you're right, all 4 are missing. Don't know what the PO was thinking. :/ If you think it's serious than I...

    Thanks Jim! "Yes, th egr valve was usually connected to a thermal ported vacuum switch on the front water passage of the intake, and that switch was connected to ported vacuum on the carb...usually the drivers side vacuum port low on the carb." So, I'm guessing the thermal ported vacuum switch...

    Now this PCV on the drivers head is gone. Where does the drivers side PCV connect?

    I'm assuming this is EGR? Where does it hook to?

    These two diaphragms aren't on the new carb. What are they? And should I install them on the new carb?

    Next, on the intake manifold, I have this one nipple that's not connected to anything. Where does this go? Next to it there's a hard line that connected to the carb. But as you can see the SMI carb is blocked off in that spot (below the choke thermostat). Just block this off? The old...

    Now I'm hoping you guys can advise me on this mess of vacuum lines. There's no vacuum diagram on the truck and now we know it's got a different engine, and now a slightly different carb. I've got some of them figured out but a few are alluding me. Really, when I bought the truck, pretty much...

    Jim: It does have those two vertical "slashes" on the back of the heads. Do you need a pic?
  18. Vic Cardenas

    New '83 P30 Food Truck

    Ok, I'll clean up the back of the heads too and get that pic... Googling the 14093638 # says it's a block from 86-94 but not much else I can find. So yes, the mfg date of 93 would make sense, and the newer heads.

    New '83 P30 Food Truck

    I can't tell if that one is a 4 or 5 digit #. Is that one you need? Or just the long one? If so, I could clean it up a little more but it looks like that last one is ground off. The reason I picked that 800cfm one is because it says that one is for 3/4 to 1 ton trucks. Plus, it says "Primary...

    Ok, so looks like I do need a carb rebuild after all. I was thinking about ordering this here... http://www.smicarburetor.com/products/sfID1/14/sfID2/9/sfID3/106/productID/61 Does that look like a good choice for my application? Any other advice? How does that work with the core? I...

    Oh, is there some type of stamping on the heads so I can figure out what specific heads they are in case of a later rebuild or head gasket incident, etc...?

    LOL No, I was just going to replace the choke thermo and be done with it. I'm running out of money and need to still fix the refrigerator ($3-4K) and do some more gas work. I have a few other emissions things to hook up and hopefully after that point I can afford to buy more parts for the...

    I finally started tearing into the engine today for the first time. I have a problem with the choke, it's difficult to start the truck and keep it running. Figured it's the carb choke thermostat. It was not wired in and was kind of falling apart. I can't believe it's $60 for this part at...

    Thanks! If anybody's wondering.... Still at the kitchen, installing the fryer controls today. Haven't fired up the fryer yet. But soon!
