    Hi everyone. I was wondering if on my 73 Merc Comet with a 250 six if I could eliminate the egr valve and block it off? If so anyone make a block off plate or do I need different manifold? Also can I eliminate anything else under the hood that has vacuum lines running too it? Thank alot guys.

    Also keep in mind that the tuneup will change slightly without it too.
