That car was my favorite it ran better then all my other sunbirds almost all the vacuum lines were broken or dry rotted when i bought it the vinyl top was tore off i put a new one on the car didnt run so i had to replace the fuel pump and when i did it didnt work got another fuel pump and it didnt work either. So i put a new power wire and ground wire to the fuel pump and ran it off of a switch i put in the car. It also didnt have a hood latch so i bought some cheap thin wire from a auto store and made o e myself well that wire wound up touching the power wire to the switch and got so hot that the wire melted threa the battery cause it was hanging ontop of the battery and caught it on fire
 
I didnt even think of that stuff, they sell it at Home Depot / Lowes also, Or if you dont have emission testing in your area, just cut off the pipe at the lower fitting and braze the opening closed and screw it back the fitting. ( done that before on my old 80 Monza - air injection fittings on the cylinder head)

I usually just make block off plates for any EGR on my stuff anyway unless it works...............................................................:D
