    which motor do u have?? also here is a link for the general block off plates. they are pretty easy to install also. but if u have emission checks do not do this as u take it off..

    I believe the sparkplug gad should be printed on a white sticker on the under side of the hood. Or somewhere under the hood.

    to answer first question....

    to answer 2nd question - depends, u DONT have to remove the egr system, i did because it was clogged and it doesnt really do that much, that and i put on an aftermarket carb, just made things easier.. but if u do take out the egr valve, yes u need to remove everything that goes with it.. if u need a pic i can see what i can find later..

    IMO no it doesnt, took me a little bit only becuase it was the first time doing it. i will try and get ur pics this weekend for you. I will also probly attempt to do a write up on how to remove the egr system.(but it will be awhile before that happens)

    Any1 have pics of a stock 22R motor? if so that will help :)

    unfortanly not :( i just ordered the egr block plates. they should be here in a week, from there i cant say how long it will take me to get it done as im tryin to get the truck back on the road. im tryin to see if i have a stock 22r pic, as my 22rte doesnt have the same egr system...once i find that i can atleast give u a better idea what it is..

    Yes (but take the air filter off)

    I meant, i can find a stock truck around my area. i see these trucks every where..

    i wouldnt do that..its easy to make the block off plates if anything. BTW what is pukas?

    Sorry, that is my way of talking (slang)

    The only pics i have of my truck(s) is when the engine was modded.

    cool, doorslammer, never seen a pic of a right hand drive engine bay...

    L0wlux, the reason i need a stock truck is so i can show in the write up how it looks stock, then once u get the plates on. a Before and after pics. I just bought the block off plates from lcengineering. but if u know someone good with cutting metal just trace the pattern from the egr valve...i will post up the after pics to give u an idea...
