The bracket iam showing you came off an 85 vette. Manifold came off a 86 vette. I did find another egr relay. See pic. If you 85-86 guys can shoot me a pic i will be thankful.
From an '85 FSM. A correct solenoid for an '85 would be 1997111 originally (same as F-body), the bracket in your hand should match a 14087565 (generally available on e-Bay - you could use for visual comparison)
Thanks Dave for that info. What a hot mess for a simple part. I have the relay and bracket for an 85 but since my manifold is an 86 there is no place for it. Maybe the right rear egr heat block off port mounting holes. I guess i need to look at an 86 egr relay setup.
then there is the egr temp switch, god knows where that is.
I think I’d just extend wires and relocate to the front of the intake. You could spacer up the bracket to clear the 86 up rear coolant port or just simply relocate.
Thanks for the super pictures, what thru me off was that only one of the holes is used. I believe I have all the vacuum hoses for the 85 so I will mount it back there. Now I just need to figure out the EGR temp sensor. I am wondering if thats an 85 only item.
85 egr temp sensor is a different size than 86-89.
the egr valve has p or n fir backpressure stamped on the top. Possible to use a tpi f body 86 egr and zip https://www.zip-corvette.com/86-89-egr-valve-temperature-indicator-switch-wire.html
egr temp sensor or just delete malf 32 from your ecm chips tune. If you get the 86 egr and temp sensor might have to lengthen the wire .
Ok there is a difference with the 85 bracket mounting to an 86 manifold. Its not just intake bolts, its the casting. I will have to make a custom bracket.
