300 straight 6 question

Im replacing my 1 barrel carb to a 2 barrel, along with a new intake. while im doing this, i was wondering if it would be possible to take off the air quality control part, that that is between the intake and the carb( sorry i have no clue what this thing is called). I live in Tennessee and its the only state that doesnt require this part to be on vehicles. could some one please tell me what this part is called, and how to remove it?? THANKS

-Nathan

Put on a 4v carb instead of the 2v. You will get better mileage, and performance when you want it. Use an Edelbrock 500, or a Holley 390. Along with that mod, you can get a set of EFI exhaust manifolds for like $40 from the j/y. They flow almost as good as headers, w/o the hassles. Use an Offenhauser DP intake, mr. Gasket #260 int/exh. gasket, and studs.

Are you talking about the EGR valve, or a heat riser for the choke?

Nate, get a manual and find out what it is you're speaking about. Then you can read about it and educate yourself about it, and better understand what it does. Once you know that, then you can make an educated decision about whether it is something you should delete.

That's the EGR spacer plate and it should not be removed. The pipe that connects it to the exhaust manifold is likely seized in place anyways.
