Then use the ring you figure is closest to what you need. Dying down on takeoff means too much (with it hooked through the temp control port or with the motor at operating temp. I'm hooking mine to an electric valve I can open and close with a dash switch) and ping means too little (hole size) Pretty simple yet elegant fix, huh? 1) It's just a mushroom shaped valve that is vacuum operated to allow exhaust gases back into the intake to thin down the cylinder's air/fuel mix and lower the combustion temp with inert (exhaust gas is mostly inert) gas, which reduces natural occurring NOx, which reduces the speed at which the fuel burns, which stops pre-ignition or PING when enough is applied. IE: Lower temps when burning keep the gasoline from heat detonating like in a diesel engine. 2) I can't find the number on Partsamerica, and my garage is upside down (packing and selling stuff while preparing to move soon) I thought it was FE3048 (maybe 3049) but the info isn't there I was looking for. It's a universal EGR with multiple rings of different sizes. (calling them during the day will get what you want) Hi all, Jim, I've been trying to find out some more about the EGR you mentioned that doesn't leak down. I have checked with the guys at NAPA and then AutoDrone as a last resort, and they don't sell EGR valves. That's what they tell me anyway. Seems odd, but they told me to check the stealership for this. Checking there, they show one part number for 86-91 models. But for pre-86 he said there are half a dozen different part numbers depending upon year, and whether 49 or Cali types, and he couldn't tell me if there were an actual difference in the shape or just what the differences were. And could not advise whether the Cali type was leakdown or the 49 state version was leakdown, or what year started the leakdown type. I would guess that the ones before '86 were the non-leakdown type since the part numbers were all the same after that. But at $130.00 I can't afford to order one in and find out it won't work. My parts truck is an '87 so that's no help. So.... I have questions. 1. Can I take the one out of the '87 and plug the "leakdown" holes? Mind you I have no idea what the EGR valve looks like out of the engine. Never seen one yet. But if it leaks down vacumn, then maybe it would be easy to modify that behavior and I can try it out. 2. Are you still at PartsAmerica? Is it possible that you have resources easily available to get me a part number for a "non leakdown" type? Of course anyone else who might be able to educate me is welcome to try... ;-)... Thanks all! JeepNutGet more from the Web.

This file may be found on the web at http://www.digest.net/general-notes.txt [last revised 5/1/02; removed list of spam strings, as i'm not the only one filtering on them -- rpw] Additional information on Digest.Net's spam policies may be found at http://www.digest.net/email-policy.html and http://www.digest.net/blocked.html Table of Contents 1. Why don't my postings go through? 2. Why can't I unsubscribe? 3. How do I post to the list? 4. Where are the archives? 5. What other lists are on digest.net? 6. Is there a web subscription form? 7. Why not move the lists to someplace like (egroups, topica,...)? 8. How do I contact the server adminstrator in an emergency? 9. What is Krusty Motorsports, anyway? The Meta-FAQ 1. Why don't my postings go through? There are several things that may interfere with postings making it to the list. a) Are you a member? Some read the ftp archives rather than receiving the list in email. Persons who read the list via email are automatically members, but readers of the FTP archive are not, and need to contact me (rwelty-at-krusty-motorsports.com) and get your name added to the list of "permitted senders". b) has your email address changed? some of you have had changes in your email address. your old address still works, and is still on the list, but your From: line shows a new address. this can happen for various reasons; you may have changed jobs or ISPs, and left a forward in place, or your IT staff may have fiddled with the email system. you will need to unsubscribe your old email address and subscribe the new one. this may require my involvement, if you can't figure out a way to get your old address off the list using the conventional majordomo commands. you can use the majordomo "which" command to probe for old addresses. send a message to majordomo-at-digest.net with one or more which commands in the body, one per line. to check for potential addresses for Fred Flinstone, formerly of bedrock.org, the following commands can be sent: which flintstone which bedrock note that the matches above might return any of the following addresses, if they appear in the list (in other words, you can use vagueness and incompleteness in your recollection as a tool): Fred.Flinstone-at-bedrock.org fflinstone-at-wilma.bedrock.org flintstonef-at-bedrock.com c) do you have more than one email address? if so, only the subscribed addresses can post, unless you contact me (see 1.a) above for relevant information) d) are you using (intentionally or accidentially) special "features" of your mail client? [this section is no longer operative, as the demime software now strips html, attachments, rich text format, etc. from postings automatically.] e) are your posts too large? there is a 10,000 character limit on posting sizes; this is done for various reasons. you can always split up large postings to get mail through. f) are you including majordomo commands at the start of your message? administrivia control is turned on; this is a trap for things like "unsubscribe" at the start of a message. try to avoid obvious majordomo commands in the subject and the first 10 lines, or misspell them in obvious ways (e.g. unzubscribe, 1ndex, h3lp, g3t, etc.) g) are you triggering spam traps? some things are red flags; for example, many phrases found commonly in spam are automatically blocked. h) are you using "funky" character sets? [7 bit restriction lifted experimentally on 8/2/00 -- film at 11] unfortunately, there are "issues" if i permit any character set other than old fashioned 7 level ASCII; therefore, you need to avoid national character sets that include various accents, umlauts, national currency characters such as the British pound symbol, etc. i) are you unintentionally including complete digests in your reply? You need to check and make sure you cut down replys to the minimal size; digests are between 20,000 and 25,000 characters in length, and if you include a complete digest in your reply, it clearly won't make the 10,000 character limit. By the way, this feature is intentional. j) Are you using a "bad" ISP or mail relay? See http://www.digest.net/email-policy.html for more information about Digest.Net policies about email. k) Is the error message you get back "User Unknown"? If so, you may be running afoul of spam control severices (again, see http://www.digest.net/email-policy.html) When these services register a hit, the error code 550 is returned. 550 is a generic code that many broken mail systems report as "user unknown". The "rejectlog" entries for the previous day's mail traffic on digest.net may be viewed at http://www.digest.net/rejectlog.01 Some of you may find it useful or instructive to use the telnet program to connect directly to port 25 on krusty-motorsports.com and see what kind of reply you get; this requires some technical knowledge and is not for everyone (you can get out of this at anytime after the initial banner simply by typing quit and hitting enter.) l) Is SMTP over TLS involved? This is a bit esoteric, but as of 8/8/01 the digest.net mail server will attempt to use "TLS" (Transport Layer Security) for outbound mail if the destination mail server offers it. SMTP over TLS is fairly new technology, and a bit buggy. I am monitoring the logs on the server, and when I see TLS related problems, I manually place the problem destinations on a special exception list; however, this may delay email to the destination host until I make the exception. 2. Why can't I unsubscribe? a) are you using the right address? send to majordomo-at-digest.net, and the command format is unsubscribe list-name my-email-address b) has your email address changed? majordomo has no way of knowing that Fred.Flinstone-at-BarneyCo.com was once fflintstone-at-bedrock.org. you can check this with the which command (see 1.b) above for details) 3. How do I post to the list? You may use either one of two addresses: for example, the bmw-digest may be reached using either bmw-at-digest.net or bmw-digest-at-digest.net If you are using the correct addresses and your posts don't show up, check out the stuff in 1. above. 4. Where are the archives? see ftp://ftp.digest.net/ for digest archives. the web archives have proven problematic, and are awaiting time for a systematic attack on the problems they've been having. 5. What other lists are on digest.net? see http://www.digest.net/ for more information. 6. Is there a web subscription form? Yes, recently added. go to http://www.digest.net/bin/digest-subs.cgi 7. Why not move the lists to someplace like (egroups, topica,...)? The Krusty Motorsports server (aka, digest.net) was explicitly to provide for efficient management of the various automotive mailing lists, done the way that the owner of the server wanted it done. Any migration off of the server (which is already bought, paid for, and configured) would create any number of issues. 8. How do i contact the Server Administrator in an emergency? If my regular email address (rwelty-at-krusty-motorsports.com) isn't working for you, you can fall back on rwelty-at-suespammers.org 9. What is Krusty Motorsports, anyway? Krusty Motorsports (http:/www.krusty-motorsports.com/) is a business which is owned and operated by Richard Welty (rwelty-at-krusty-motorsports.com). Krusty is an S-Corporation in the State of New York. Krusty provides a number of Internet related services, such as mailing list, web sites, pop3/telnet accounts, and consulting on internet related issues.

As you may remember, I'm turning it into a rockpig, slated for 38-42" tires moooahahahah and a full cage. as such, a whole bunch of stuff is coming off. Partial list as follows, feel free to email me at whitet-at-sisna.com or call me at 435-843-9255home/435-224-2453 cell w/any questions. dashboard, a/c stuff, blower core, door hardware, rear sear (blue/grey southwestern pattern), one front seat, rear interior panels, door panels (holes cut for speakers), center console, all gauges/controls, carb, manifold, exhaust manifolds, front fenders (WT), all underhood hoses etc, inner fenders, Quadratrac case(differential is gone I think, makes grinding noise in all gear and doesn't move, on a new transmission), Quadratrac low-range unit, driveshafts, both axles, 3 outlaw II rims (other one mangled when the uh, studs sheared off... don't ask), grille, headlight bezels, front winch bumper (tack welded to frame at the mounting points, should clean up before I ship it out), 5k# Warn winch, Kayline rear tire/gascan holder (one holder mushed in a little), gas tank, brake hardware, radiator. everything is off my sad 78 Chief. I was going to restore it but after the beating my wife gave it, it deserves a rebirth as something meaner. She's learned though, and in fact is getting a lift for her 99 XJ this week. Friend rolled his and sold me the sweet, expensive setup he has for next to nothing, one man's loss and all that, eh? anyway get in touch if anyone wants any of this stuff. I'll be forced to toss it or use it for rifle targets if I can't get rid of it. No prices here because I'm easy, not looking to make money, just would rather someone use this stuff than see it junked.
