Custom throttle cable plate???

leo · 03-30-2001, 04:03 PM

When I installed my explorer upper into my 1990, I had to eliminate my egr spacer (which the throttle cable plate bolts to). The EGR will not bolt to the Explorer upper because I need to fabricate bolts I guess.

Looking at the explorer intake, it has two 2in. (i think) threaded ends comming out and two threaded holes for bolts. How do you bolt the egr to the Explorer intake? The EGR plate is thicker than the bolts coming out.

Unless there is a way to make my own throttle cable plate to bolt up to my throttle body or intake, I'm screwed or so it seems. I don't need the egr plate because I'm not using emissions.

What are my options, I need to use my gas pedal

.

Thanks,
Leo

Unlimited Performance sells an EGR delete plate that does away with the EGR space but still gives the bolts for the throttle cable. I've installed one on my car and really like it. Its only about .25" thick so I've shortened up the intake run by more than 1.5". I had long ago rendered my EGR inactive, so it was doing nothing but taking up space. I forget their web address, but you can find it off my racing links on my website.

Ok, cool! Thanks a lot man you've been a big help. I can't wait to get her running again soon so I can see how much of an improvement this intake made.

Thanks,
Leo
